Professional Info
I am a professional and creative Fashion and Textile Designer. My biggest passion is art, no matter in what shape, size or form I think this is our only way, as human beings, to express what we have to say and create something beautiful. I have had the opportunity to experience different cultures in my life and that is something that I always like to bring into my designs/creations, as well as adding class and sophistication to everything that I do.
