I'm Helen, a London based artist and designer and founder of HELEN KIRKUM STUDIO. I am most well known for my one-of-a-kind bespoke sneakers. I am widely considered a pioneer of the hacked and deconstructed aesthetic within the sneaker industry, and in the vanguard of the sustainable footwear movement, telling stories through my designs.

More about the Studio:

Helen Kirkum Studio Limited was founded by me in 2019.

At Helen Kirkum Studio we celebrate the processes of wearing and making in our products. Utilising recycled and dead stock materials, we create bespoke sneakers artistically crafted for an individual experience. We collaborate with brands worldwide to bring our playful perspective and sustainable message to their products. We also love to spread our signature design through making ethos in talks and workshops (like this one) promoting the value of spontaneous and tactile creativity. Challenging us to rethink the meaning of consumption and the way we interact with the products we own.
