You could say my journey in the fashion industry began at age six, crafting whimsical outfits for my teddy bears at my mother's sewing machine. Thankfully, I've moved beyond miniature dresses, but my passion for creating clothing and wearable art has only grown over the years.
In addition to my creative flair, I possess a technical mind that thrives on understanding how design elements—shape, size, and material—come together in exactly the right combination, to produce a perfect garment pattern, (perhaps a trait inherited from my family of engineers). Pattern making, with its blend of artistry and geometric challenges, allows me to 'magically' transform concepts into beautiful, three-dimensional garments. I find this process enormously rewarding.
