“My design ethos is built on a subtle critique of the superficial fashion industry. It is an attempt to create positive change from within, challenge convention and provoke thought. My creative practice uses the body as canvas for wearable art pieces, working at the intersection between craftsmanship and novelty with ethical production in mind. I aim to incorporate my background in fine arts into a body of work, that delivers a multidimensional experience for the mind, body and soul.”
“I am interested in experimental techniques, challenging material boundaries and playing with new forms of aesthetics. As a multidisciplinary artist working with painting, drawing, 3D, illustration and music, I create jewellery that is multifaceted, unique and conceptual. I am deeply involved in all aspects of my practice, from designing and manufacturing to graphic design and business management. I take great pleasure in handcrafting every piece, and the making process is vital for my brand. Every collection holds a message that is worth spreading, an idea to ponder over.”
“Because life is about a lot more than just adornment.It is meaning. Purpose. Experience.”
