About

I am a Swiss-based fashion designer with a passion for crafting couture-inspired ready-to-wear and sustainable yoga-wear. I hold a Master in Fashion Design and have worked for fashionhouses including Dior, Lanvin, and Paule Ka, as well as led freelance projects for RVDK and other ateliers. My practice blends traditional draping, pattern cutting, hand sketching, and 3D design with textiles, brand identity, and production management.

I founded Take It Easy Honey, an elegant yoga-wear brand that combines function, style, body positivity and mindful sourcing.

Based between Paris and Zurich, I run a small production atelier, manage supplier relationships, and drive visual identity and collection development. I am excited to collaborate with brands that value craft, sustainability, and thoughtful design to create distinctive garments and experiences.
