Who is Light Foot Athletics?

Hi, I’m Olivia ONeill, the person behind Light Foot, making and designing all of the gear you see on the site. I’m a graduate of Parsons School of Design and have worked in the fashion industry for 10 years. I’m a trail runner, fast-packer, backpacker and dabble in a number of other sports that keep me outside as much as possible.

The idea for Light Foot came about after I started training for the Bigfoot 200 trail running race in Washington which is happening later this year. My search for gear that could adapt to different conditions fell short and I landed on the decision to build all my own gear for the race.

Light Foot is my journey to build better gear solutions for outdoor pursuits.
