I am a contemporary textile, fiber artist and knitwear designer with interest in creating sustainable and environmental-friendly textile objects, using second-hand, thrifted or ethically sourced fibers—such as organic cotton, hemp, wool or upcycled textiles.
In my work I try to combine craftmanship, learned as a child from my grandmother (handknitting, weaving, yarn spinning, embroidery) with a strong knack for storytelling, speaking about cultural heritage, incorporating difficult techniques, patterns, colors and text.
