Fashion designer and digital fashion artist with experience across design, retail management and dance.

About

Fashion designer and digital fashion artist with experience across design, retail management and dance. I create immersive experiences and garments that are influenced by sound and movement, using both physical and digital tools to explore identity and self-expression.

I built a luxury streetwear and digital fashion brand inspired by culture, dance, and movement. I delivered bespoke pieces and mini-collections for dancers and artists, and I’ve built an engaged community around movement-led design.

As a designer and creative technologist, I create immersive experiences that fuse sound, identity, and motion—bridging physical and digital tools to explore self-expression. My work spans fashion design, branding, and content development, underpinned by a love of storytelling, VR/AR, and 3D design.

Ego Luv - A collection created for luxury Streetwear brand G’zell Focusing on the entanglements of self care, Ego Luv is where inner energy is shared and felt. Each piece invites your alter ego to step forward, turning hard-earned strength into style. EGO LUV values the ego, learns from it, and wears it with awareness. Be your whole self. Boldly. https://www.behance.net/gallery/241872999/Ego-Luv-Collection/modules/1394360911
