About

I am Fashion graduate from Aalto University, Finland. Focusing on knitwear, I’m trying to find new ways to accentuate the already 3-dimentional body - diminishing the boundaries of traditional textiles. Working from a place of humor and satire, I strive for a world of inclusive, sustainable glamour. Besides my expertise in knitwear, I have great skills in menswear, tailoring, print design, patternmaking, research and accessories design.
