As a visionary leather designer, Kaii's passion is crafting innovative fashion from leather. Her journey in leatherwork focuses on refining technical skills and expanding creative horizons. In her practice, Kaii specializes in edge processing and painting, creating designs that are marked by sharp spikes, clear edges, and bold accents. Her expertise covers a broad spectrum of sustainable leathers, including eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials like cowhide and sheepskin.

A defining aspect of Kaii's artistry is her ability to invent new leather textures. A prime example is her work with vegetable-tanned leather, where she employs a high-temperature treatment to create a unique stone-like texture. This innovation exemplifies her talent for fusing traditional methods with creative experimentation, setting her apart in the realm of sustainable and ethical fashion design.
