Meet Lyle Barton
Lyle Barton is the brand ambassador for Mission Workshop I had the pleasure to interview Lyle and learn about Mission Workshop. Mission Workshop is one of the brands that currently handmakes all their products locally and is important to them and their customers. Their Silverlake store caters to a new market which is very small and niche.

Why Mission Workshop?
Mission Workshop was originally born in the heart of the mission district in San Francisco, CA. As apart of their growth they wanted to tap into the SoCal demographic specifically Los Angeles area.
The brand prides itself on its long-lasting products being able to stand the test of time. They strive off building high-quality, high performance and construct a product that has a timeless aesthetic.

Concept Development
After several weeks of research,
I proposed that Mission Workshop tapped into the lifestyle market. This term of athleisure was slowly on the rise and I felt it would feel best for this project.
Athleisure is a form of combining lifestyle with athletic wear for the ultimate comfort and sophistication of Silverlake users

Tape drawing and Model-making
After finalizing a design based of the critique of Rafael and others from Mission Workshop, I began to mock-ups and tape drawings to visualize my design. By designing in 3D it allowed me to better understand the look of my design.
Outsole was constructed using solidworks and is 3D printed

My Thoughts:
While working on this project as a student I had a really fun and amazing time venturing out and learning about a specific demographic. The opportunity to network with multiple people and design for such a specific demographic was very rewarding.
