Noah is an Industrial Designer and the Senior Director of Sustainable Product Design at Nike. He collaborates with a diverse group of designers and innovators to blend sustainable materials, technologies, and business models into Nike’s best product for the benefit of Earth and Athlete. He comes from a family of teachers, hippies, and architects and feels most at home staring at the sea in a heavy fog.

Over the past twenty years or so he has designed for Yves Behar’s fuseproject and Thomas Meyerhoffer’s studio and created products with Herman Miller, iRobot, and Samsung, among many others.

Most recently, Noah created the Nike Space Hippie line and, together with a small group of renegade creatives, produced a line of shoes made almost entirely from trash. Embodying the design philosophy of progress over perfection, it was the next, radical step towards responsible product at Nike. Beyond product, he has written and produced numerous strategies, manifestos, and anthem videos to shape and communicate Nike’s journey towards a sustainable and thriving future.

When not trying to reinvent shoe manufacturing, Noah creates practical problems by sailing wooden boats with his family in the cold waters around Portland, OR.
