Hello! My name is Nick Fenselau.
Footwear Designer at Ariat International, where I have led the Equestrian, Endurance, Countryside Fashion, and All-Weather categories. By combining my passion for design with a deep love for horseback riding, I bring a unique perspective to my work - blending firsthand riding experience with real-world performance needs and the ever-evolving landscape of fashion trends.
Beyond my design work, I am committed to fostering the next generation of talent. I help recruit and manage footwear design interns and frequently return to my alma mater, the California College of the Arts, to lead footwear sketching workshops, participate in design critiques, and conduct mock interviews with students.
