About

I am a designer and communicator with a passion for sustainability and ethics in the textile industry. I am constantly learning, growing, and advocating for ethical advancements within fashion. Textiles are a powerful and underrated tool of communication, and I believe that we can learn so much from our history with textiles, and from the communities that create and uphold this industry. I am always looking for connection and collaboration, and love to explore creatively. Don't hesitate to reach out! *I have a work permit to work in France, and do not need to be sponsored to accept any opportunity!
