    paper Jewel Up
    For this project, the brief was to define utopia and create a physical jewel with its digital counterpart. My interpretation of utopia is rooted in the idea of freedom. To me, freedom represents a state where everything is possible, a place or mindset where worries disappear. It’s something we all chase, but rarely find. I began to ask myself: does such a place truly exist? That’s when I realized: freedom does exist, but it’s most palpable in childhood. For children, the playground is a utopia. It’s where they can be themselves fully, where their imaginations run wild and unbounded. In this space, everything feels possible. Childhood itself is a state of pure freedom. As we grow older, we gradually lose this freedom, getting caught up in the responsibilities and pressures of adulthood. I started thinking, wouldn’t it be amazing to return to that place for just a few minutes? That’s the concept behind “Jewel Up,” a project designed to recreate the sensation of freedom that fades as we age. Through a playful, interactive video game, the digital counterpart of my jewel, I wanted to offer an experience that transports players back to a moment when imagination had no limits. The jewel, designed alongside the game, is symbolic of this freedom. It acts as a reminder to the wearer that no matter how complicated life becomes, there’s always a piece of that childhood spirit within us, waiting to be unlocked. The focus isn’t on winning or achieving a goal but on exploring, discovering, and feeling free. For those few minutes of gameplay, the mind is liberated from the constraints of adulthood. The jewel and the game work hand in hand to create a complete experience—a tangible piece that grounds you in reality and a digital escape that lifts you into a carefree world. The jewel itself is designed with playful, fluid shapes and materials that mirror the movement and lightness found in the digital world of the game. By blending the physical and digital worlds through “Jewel Up,” I aimed to challenge the traditional notion of what a jewel can be. It’s not just about aesthetics or material value; it’s about creating an experience that resonates emotionally and psychologically with the wearer or player. In my vision, a jewel can be a tool for self-expression, an invitation to dream, and a gateway to a personal utopia. “Jewel Up” is more than just a game or a piece of jewelry—it’s a journey back to freedom. It reminds us that no matter how grown-up we may be, there’s always room for imagination, curiosity, and a little bit of play. After all, isn’t that the true essence of freedom? pdf designer illustrator game…
    paper WONDER
    I had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Louis Vuitton Accessories Design Graduates Initiative, where I developed a multi-use leather bag that incorporates recycled materials. Inspired by the rich history of the Louis Vuitton brand, the bag is designed for versatility, making it perfect for events and special occasions. It blends luxury craftsmanship with sustainability, reflecting both the timeless elegance and forward-thinking innovation that Louis Vuitton is known for. This project allowed me to explore new ways of integrating heritage and modern design in a functional yet stylish accessory. The Louis Vuitton WONDER embodies the playful, exuberant, and vibrant essence of the twenties, celebrating with enthusiasm the freedom and energy of youth. The design of the bag, inspired by the heritage of Louis Vuitton and its timeless bags created for travel, is an ode to the journey as one of life’s most extraordinary moments. This bag aims to be a freedom, growth, and carefreeness symbol, representing the opportunity to explore new places, meet diverse cultures, and embrace adventure. The WONDER bag is a limited edition. It will be realized using deadstock material which aims to give a new life to fabrics wastes of other luxury firms. The goal is to attract a younger audience by offering an accessory that emotionally connects to the joy and optimism associated with the twenties and seamlessly integrates into the prestigious product line and sustainability effort of Louis Vuitton. pdf accessories bag design illustration…
    paper Creative Fashion Drawings
    This project is all about fashion illustrations, where creativity truly takes center stage. Whether I’m working with traditional hand-drawn techniques or digital tools like Illustrator and Procreate, my goal is to create visually striking and imaginative designs that tell a story through style. From the way the fabric flows, to how the character stands, to the colors and patterns, I ensure that every detail comes together to create a cohesive and compelling image. Using Procreate, I can play with brushstrokes, shading, and textures, allowing me to experiment with different visual effects. This gives the illustrations a rich, painterly quality that’s both dynamic and expressive. On the other hand, when I use Illustrator, I focus on clean lines and bold shapes, creating sleek and polished looks that work well for modern, minimalistic styles. What sets my fashion illustrations apart is the combination of these approaches. I bring together the fluidity of freehand drawing with the precision of digital design, giving each figurine a unique mix of artistic flair and polished execution. This allows me to communicate the spirit of the design while also offering a clear vision of how it could be developed further in the production process. Fashion illustrations are not just about showing a garment—they’re about conveying an emotion, a lifestyle, a brand identity. Whether the mood is elegant and refined, bold and avant-garde, or playful and whimsical, I tailor each illustration to match the tone of the collection. I work closely with clients and creative teams to ensure that every piece is aligned with the overarching vision, using moodboards and trend research to guide my creative choices. Ultimately, my fashion illustrations serve as a bridge between imagination and reality. They allow me to express my artistic vision while giving designers, clients, and collaborators a tangible idea of how a collection will look and feel. Whether it’s a single standout piece or an entire collection, my figurines are designed to inspire and to spark creativity, offering a fresh perspective on fashion design. So, if you're looking for fashion illustrations that not only showcase the clothes but also capture the spirit of the collection, let’s collaborate! pdf illustrator fashion…
    paper Fashion Technical Drawings
    In this project, I focus on technical fashion drawings, a key step in turning creative concepts into reality. My work blends both precision and creativity, using tools like Illustrator and Procreate to bring designs to life with clarity and detail. For highly detailed, scalable work, I often turn to Adobe Illustrator. With its precise vector-based approach, it’s perfect for creating clean, professional technical drawings that showcase every aspect of a garment. From intricate stitching to fabric details, these drawings provide a blueprint that’s both aesthetically appealing and technically sound, ready for production. The clean lines and accuracy allow me to communicate my design intent clearly to manufacturers or collaborators. But when I want to inject a bit more fluidity and personality into the process, I love using Procreate. This digital tool allows for a more hands-on, artistic approach, while still maintaining the structure needed for technical fashion drawing. With Procreate, I can add shading, texture, and subtle touches that bring a garment’s features to life. It's also a fantastic way to create more dynamic, detailed pieces that are visually striking while remaining functional as technical guides. My goal is always to ensure that the designs are production-ready, while still visually capturing the essence of the garment. Ultimately, these technical drawings serve as a bridge between the creative and practical sides of fashion design, offering a clear, detailed vision of what the final product will be. Whether you're looking for clean, structured designs or something with a more artistic touch, my technical drawings are the perfect way to bring your fashion concepts to life. pdf illustration fashion…
    paper Visual Storytelling through Storyboards
    This project dives into the world of visual storytelling, where I create unique storyboards to bring ideas to life. My approach varies depending on the needs of the project, from minimalist icon-based boards to richly illustrated scenes and even comic-style panels that really pop! For simpler, more conceptual projects, I often use icon-based storyboards. These are great for outlining ideas in a clean, easy-to-follow way. The icons break down complex processes or narratives into digestible steps, making the project accessible to everyone involved—perfect for early-stage presentations or for clients who need clarity without too much detail. But when it’s time to get a bit more artistic, I step into the world of hand-drawn illustrations. These storyboards are ideal for more dynamic projects, allowing me to inject personality and emotion into each frame. Whether it's fashion design, a campaign, or product development, I create detailed illustrations that not only communicate the story but also set the visual tone for the entire project. Then, there’s my favorite: the comic-style storyboard. Here, I take storytelling to the next level by blending narrative and visuals into a format that’s engaging, fun, and memorable. These are perfect for creative projects, branding, or anything that needs a bit of flair to capture attention. No matter the style, my goal with every storyboard is to create a clear, compelling visual journey that draws the viewer in. I work closely with my clients to understand the vision, ensuring that each storyboard not only tells the story but does so in a way that’s aligned with their goals and creative direction. So whether you need something clean and professional, artistic and detailed, or dynamic and bold, I’ve got a storyboard for that! pdf illustrator…
