• My practice as a designer is mostly based on solving social problems, exploring the functionality and amplifying the performance of garments. Instead of making good looking garments, my works are more about innovating the process of producing, selling and wearing.

  My MA project innovates a business model with the aim of enhancing individuality and sustainably, simplifying the wardrobe. An infinitely customisable garment system, which is transformable, adaptable and iterative, allowing customers using less to express more.
