A systemic leader and social change engineer
Creative CV
I am a clothing designer and an enthusiast of all things artsy and creative. I am particularily interested in exploring the combination of various art forms in fashion. I've been sewing for as long as I can remember and have expanded my skills into crochet, embroidery and painting. Additionally, I have done academic research on the textile industry to hold myself and the industry to a sustainable and ethical standard.
