About

My design philosophy centers on the belief that clothing is more than attire; it's a vital technology connecting us to the heartbeat of our planet. We are uniquely dependent on clothing for exploration and survival; it has been our constant companion throughout human existence. In this context, for original communities, textiles symbolize companionship and vitality in life's transitions, linking them to the living world. Clothing becomes a symbol of identity, and one's own costume creation is a ritual that intertwines personal and community journeys. In this way, clothes become tangible manifestations of both individual and communal narratives. This is what drives me to create. But I'm not just a creator; I'm a solver, treating the process from concept to final product as a challenge but also a captivating journey. Fueled by curiosity, I'm a flexible persona, pushing boundaries to improve both myself and my work.
