Experiencing different cultures and surroundings over the years have helped me to form a unique point of view. I have been also affected by mediums like design, art and theater, which helped my ability for delivering the story or feeling.

As a collector of obscure objects I cherish the simple things which build upon a clever idea. It can be from recycling materials in many ways or exploring how objects are made.
I aim to find new ideas to translate abstract inspiration into prints, finishings and textile design, which could be placed in the commercial context of the brand. A concept leads me to quickly manufacture material suggestions, sketch different ideas and create inspirational mood boards or videos.

One of my biggest passion is for knitting. It is a fascinating craft which allows me to find new combinations of yarn and different textures. It is an endless process full of exciting discoveries and possibilities which invigorates my curiosity.
