about my workI enjoy the designing as well as the making process.
I am very visual and think in 3d when I design. I love colour and a clever way of combining it. All my work consists of strong and unusual colour-ways. Never choosing the obvious. |

One of my most successful ways of working is on the stand. Most of my designs are developed through drape and drawing from these initial designs.
As with knit I start with a rough design and let the machine and sampling process lead the way.
I enjoy to let the material have its say and usually don't design "loud fashion".
My favourite materials are natural ones like cotton, linen, wool and silk. Although I ventured into man-made materials in some of my projects.
I prefer to start with humble materials and the challenge for me is to make it stand out through my design.
I love screen-print as it is a very sincere process. The artist leaves his mark with every pull.
Knit is a big part in my design ethos. I love that it is a very wholesome process. You start with a yarn and create a whole garment from scratch. I also really enjoy the process on a knitting machine. You cannot really rush it or it goes wrong. This is a very healthy way of working in this hectic day and age.
It also surprises you with happy accidents that lead to very organic outcomes.
In my graduate collection I went as far as making my own buttons. I fell in love with the process of enamelling. A process I would like to explore further for accessories and design details.
