About

I am a fashion designer and researcher dedicated to sustainability, innovation, and material experimentation. With a strong focus on biodegradable textiles, I developed my own bio-leather as a conscious alternative to traditional bovine leather. My work bridges fashion, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility, creating designs that honor identity, heritage, and ethical production. Through my collections, I explore the intersection of sustainability and storytelling, reimagining the future of fashion with integrity and purpose.
