"My work is about telling stories. Archeology has been my first passion and I find inspiration in the folklore from different cultures, ceremonies, rituals, costumes exploring the influences of global textiles and fashion. My recent work blends history, storytelling and design inspired by the costumes and traditions of world culture and contemporary fashion. Pushing my own boundaries and expectations, I realize there are no accidents- only endless possibilities."
