Hi there! I recently graduated with a M.A. degree in conceptual fashion design in which I researched and specialized in body inclusive design & pattern making. I am enthusiastic about creating new textiles and fabric manipulations. I find inspiration in contemporary (internet) culture, psychology and
nostalgia. In total, I have one year of full-time internship experience in the luxury fashion industry and four years of experience working part-time (20h/week) for smaller commercial working brands while studying.
