About

Through the years of different experiences of studying and working, I became strongly passioned with what I am dedicated to: the art of the creative process. Last year I gained also an excellent technical understanding of knitwear in specific, the field which amazed me the most, with a thousand paths to take. I could describe myself as a open-minded, intuition-driven, heart-open person.
