life is an adventure, that's why I'm making clothes, out of adventure ...

philosophy
as a freelance fashion and costume designer, I now specialise in individual, hand-crafted and custom-made garments and costumes for the stage, theatre and films.
to create and tailor artistic, one-of-a-kind items with my own hands is more than just my profession – it's my passion.
