Tovah Robinson is a footwear design expert based in New York. Born to Jamaican parents who settled in the United States in the 1960s, Tovah's path to footwear design was anything but conventional. Initially majoring in marketing in Pennsylvania, she moved to New York to pursue a career in advertising at Time Inc. Feeling unfulfilled, Tovah explored various career paths until she found her calling while working in handbag production. The experience of being surrounded by accessory designers sparked her curiosity of footwear design. She further honed her skills by attending accessories classes at FIT in the evenings.

Her breakthrough came as a footwear design assistant at Dolce Vita, where she designed for notable clients like Urban Outfitters and Halston. Climbing the ranks, Tovah later became the primary footwear designer for BCBGMAXAZRIA and Imagine Vince Camuto at Camuto Group, even crafting custom wedding shoes.

With a career spanning the development of seasonal lines, NYFW runways, and celebrity clientele, she aims to create versatile collections for both the catwalk and the bustling city streets.

Tovah's designs are known for their dynamic interplay between natural and industrial elements, architectural forms, and cultural influences, embodying a unique balance of shape and space. Her success is attributed to her innate talent, determination, and eclectic style, deeply influenced by her mother's distinctive taste in footwear, which taught her the value of setting her own trends.
