I believe design should go beyond appearance, creating a relationship between the body and the garment that shapes how the wearer feels and carries themselves. My approach begins with observation and research, always grounded in how something is experienced in reality rather than how it appears visually. I am drawn to the space between idea and form, where work takes shape through process, testing, and refinement. I aim to create design that is thoughtful in its making, quiet in its expression, yet strong in its presence when worn.
