I am an experienced designer and cra3swoman with a strong sense for detail, a passion for ethical and bespoke fashion, and a long-standing practice in couture, costume design, and handmade footwear. My work combines traditional techniques (tailoring, felting, weaving) with a sensitive artistic vision and a deep respect for the body. I actively explore digital fashion as well, designing and simulating garments in 3D. I believe fashion can be a powerful tool of activism and personal expression.
