Fashion Designer
I am an Amsterdam-based Fashion & Textile Designer, my work focuses on the intersection of technical structure and avant-garde expression. While getting my BA at Amsterdam Fashion Institute (AMFI), my practice became defined by a constant effort to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality, transforming conceptual visions into wearable, tactile garments.
Central to my identity is an obsession with textile manipulation. My expertise lies in the layering of diverse techniques, from traditional tailoring, embroidery and screen printing to modern laser engraving and cutting. By experimenting with how these methods interact, I build complex silhouettes and intricate surfaces that challenge the standard perception of fabric.
While my process often utilises digital tools like CLO3D to push the boundaries of form, the physical output remains deeply rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability. By repurposing deadstock and eco-friendly materials, I ensure that my experimental approach to fashion is grounded in responsible practice.
I am currently open to creative collaborations and commissioned projects.
