Charlie Kirihara

I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota and am a fourth generation Japanese American, or Yonsei. I moved to Portland, Oregon to pursue my dream of designing shoes. I am a Color + Materials Designer for US Football and have been with adidas since 2015. I am in my third year on the adidas Employee Resource Group (ERG) Platform for Asian Community and Engagement (PACE) executive team. Throughout my time with PACE I have enjoyed connecting with and advocating for the Asian community at adidas NAM. I hope to inspire the PACE community and allies to volunteer for the PACE executive team and event organizing committees.
