My artistic and design practice revolves around collective memory, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage through interdisciplinary projects spanning fashion and product design, textile art, illustration, and archiving.

I explore these themes by crafting narratives that intertwine the transformative potential of craftsmanship with the multifaceted dynamics of socio-economic environments. Aiming to challenge the stereotypical perceptions of craft practices in our lives. Each project goes through a process of drawing, pattern design, hand printing, and natural dye methods. By adopting a co-creation approach and collaborating with textile artisans on specific pieces, I seek to cultivate new production dynamics and an environment where the works engage in a dialogue between the object,
aesthetics, and material.
