I discovered my passion for experimenting with materials during my studies, and design began for me as a hands-on exercise—getting a finger into the pie and letting the material show the way. This playful, tactile approach continues to shape my work across design projects and the creation of jewelry in precious metals. I love thinking in 3D, exploring unusual and charming shapes, and pushing materials to reveal new possibilities. Today I apply that same curiosity to fashion accessories and product design, combining research, sketching, 3D modeling, and prototyping to deliver thoughtful, material-led solutions that merge craft with contemporary design thinking.
