My design Philosophy
My passion lies in the exhilarating fusion of colors, textures, and shapes, creating innovative looks that stand out.
I thrive on conceptualizing new construction techniques, blending traditional methods with a contemporary twist, and experimenting with unpredictable color combinations.
Challenges in knitting simply fuel my creativity, pushing me to rethink and redefine what’s possible. I take pride in transforming complex ideas into elegant designs, yet I believe that when innovation calls for a more intricate approach, the pursuit of perfection is always worth it.

Muse
Free Form knitted top
For: myself, 2022
The muse is a fearless exploration of form, texture, and construction - an intuitive journey into the art of freeform knitting. Created without a predetermined plan, each section was shaped fluidly, responding to the flow of the three-dimensional structure of the body.
The piece is sculptural yet fluid, merging bold colors with dynamic geometric lines to create an armor-like presence.
The muse shows that knitting is not only about following patterns; it can be a spontaneous flow of imagination, shape, and movement
Urban Rush
Cables and mosaic colorwork

My first independent pattern is a play between structure and texture, blending delicate cables with bold mosaic colorwork for a visually captivating effect.

The contrast between the intricate texture and the graphic colorwork makes it as engaging to knit as it is to wear.
