CARBONDALE, Ill. As with many aspiring athletes, Theo Hassim’s interest in footwear and sneakers began in grade school by following what top athletes were wearing. That initial interest sparked a passion, ultimately guiding Hassim, a senior industrial design major from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, to the 2021 Rickert-Ziebold Trust Award presented by the Southern Illinois University Carbondale School of Art and Design.
“I’m very shocked and excited. I can’t stop shaking,” said Hassim, who will graduate next month. “I’m super happy to be able to have people appreciate all the work I have put in during my time at SIU and the work before that.”
