„I am fascinated by the creative possibilities, using fabrics, leather, colours and prints enabling me to tell stories and therefore create my collection. I receive my inspiration every single day through the small and big events in my immediate surrounding and the many impressions during my travels around the world. My designs are pure, uncomplicated and modern. Referring to current topics I transfer my impressions with a clear standard of design in mind. Every peace develops its own sensuality by interacting with pattern, material and colouring. It is most important to me to produce long living and fair produced products for my clients.”
