I have always been concious of the need to do my part in making sure the fashion industry moves forward towards a more sustainable, ethical future.
As a person i love to be around like-minded, creative spirits. I also love to travel, as i feel it is important to experience other countries and cultures, it is a great inspiration in my design work.
