When did you realise you wanted to be a fashion designer? How long have you been designing clothing?
I've always been a fan of colours and shapes and to be creative has always been important to me. I've been fascinated of clothes and style for as long as I can remember and how easy it is to change appearance with how you dress. I wanted to work with something that involves colours and handicraft so that's why I wanted to work with fashion, textile and knitwear. The handicraft is very important to me and all of my garments are hand knitted and made in my studio. I learned how to knit as a kid in school, but it was first when I was around 19 that I became obsessed and realised that it was something I wanted to do. I started knitting as a hobby and now it has become a larger part of my life which is super fun.
