“People who want to achieve the best product and who are prepared to break traditions are my type. They are the people I am looking to work with.”

“I am inspired by functional clothing. Designing, for me, is more about finding solutions than dreaming up a look. To see people wear clothes I have designed; to see it perform or being worn with ease and comfort is extremely motivating.

Beyond that, to be able to create low impact clothing; finding the best and most sustainable ways to do it is what drives me. “
