About me / About business or organisation:

I have a great interest in style, art and the making of fashion. Furthermore I am digging deeper into subjects like sustainability, organic fashion and the choices you can make to help change the world.

I am a fashion student, pursuing a Bachelor in Textile Handicraft and Education in Copenhagen, Denmark. An education that includes the teaching of textile printing (screen printing) with a lot of different types of colours and techniques, different technigues in embroidery, pattern and fashion design, pattern making, sewing of toiles and sewing the actual product, knowledge of materials, and communication relevant to museums, journalism, project managing sales, and education.

I have been drawing ever since I can remember and have put ideas to life with my crafty do-it-yourself approach.
