Textile, Fashion & Jewerly Design

“I have always evaded standard practicality in favor of fantasy and dreams, and I advocate a self-aware, humor-wrapped design for the wearer. Through my design works, I attempt to create aesthetics that touch the soul, albeit whimsically, revealing layers and irony in a fresh, amused, surprising way".
