She enjoys making fashion that has meaning to its end user. Designing is problem-solving at its finest. In her opinion brilliant fashion is made when a designer knows the rules but bends them to create something new an unexpected. Not focusing on the consumers wants but also consider their needs.
Trying something new, pushing the limits and experimenting with different techniques is what makes fashion evolve. She also enjoys learning different kinds of special techniques such as beading, embroidery and printing.

Latest Collection

Ice Queen

Her thesis Ice Queen was created as alternative women's figure skating collection.
In her collection, she aims to not just focus on the aesthetics but also to add a deeper layer by studying possibilities of compression technique which could aid the athlete on their performance.
She also wished to break the norms of single skating ladies fashion. To go out of the comfort zone.
Her own collection is a mix of historic royal gowns and athletic wear, with the appropriate amount of bling.
