Available to hire
I am a curious, energetic and self motivated individual. I am deeply inspired and fascinated with textiles and materials as cultural forms of expression. I am led by the nature of the materials that I work with to inspire my approach to design. Since patterns and textures can be found almost everywhere—I constantly feel motivated to capture and share them back to the world.
I am friendly, social and collaborative, which makes me easy to get along. I love the process of learning new skills, and consider myself responsible and competent in the process of making tangible objects that are a reflection of my thought and skills.
