I'm a Textile and Fashion Designer with 8+ years in the industry, and honestly, I still love it as much as when I started. Over the years I've come to really understand fabrics, trends, and what makes a design feel right—the colors, the texture, the little details that bring a piece together. Research and staying curious about what’s happening in the industry are just part of how I work. Alongside that, I also take on freelance work as a Surface Designer, creating custom prints and patterns for brands. I love getting into a brand's world and figuring out how to translate that into something visual—whether it’s for home textiles, packaging, or fashion. My approach is more about subtlety than spectacle; I want the design to feel like it truly belongs to the brand, not like it’s shouting for attention.
