Fashion Designer & Ceramic Artist
I believe that creating something new begins not with a sketch, but with a feeling. Sometimes all it takes is the touch of a fabric or a piece of clay in my hands to see a future shape,imagine its character, and picture the person for whom it will one day become something deeply cherished.
My love for working with materials began in childhood. A friend of my mother’s would occasionally sew clothes for me, and I watched in awe as fabric transformed into form. To me, textiles always felt alive—something familiar, carrying the memory of every touch.
Ceramics came into my life much later. At one point, I realized that my vision could no longer be expressed through someone else’s hands. So I picked up clay for the first time. From the very first touch, I felt an unexpected sense of calm, as though this material had always belonged in my world. It was then that I understood ceramics allowed me to discover myself on a deeper level.
I find most of my inspiration in nature—in its lines, textures, and beautiful imperfections. Fabric becomes an extension of the body in motion, while clay becomes part of the space in which we live.
I strive to create pieces with character and meaning—objects that remain with people for years, becoming a natural part of their surroundings, their memories, and sometimes even their family’s story.
To me, true luxury lies in individuality, craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. Much has changed over the years, but one thing has remained the same: every creation begins with a feeling, and only then does it take the form of a garment or a ceramic piece.
