About

I’m a Los Angeles based designer with a European background that’s given me a broader perspective and shaped the way I approach creativity. I’ve worked in women’s contemporary since fashion school, designing across categories like knits, wovens, dresses, bottoms, and accessories. I’ve built a strong understanding of fabrics, construction, and color, and I approach every project with intention, efficiency, and curiosity.

I’m fluent in Adobe and PLM, with skills in illustration, CADs, and color development. I also run a streetwear label centered around denim, where I’ve developed custom fabrics and patterns from the ground up. Outside of fashion, I’ve designed large-scale pieces for festival stages, combining technical design with creative direction. I’m driven, detail oriented, and passionate about creating work that feels thoughtful and original.
