Textile designer with strengths in knitting, biomaterials, textile printing, and bio-design. Passionate about sustainability and materials exploration. Equally proficient graphic designer with excellent experience designing marketing materials (social media graphics, digital flyers, newsletter images, etc.) for different brands, contributing to the creation of visual identity systems. Highly skilled in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop).
As a creator, I navigate through nature, experimentation, and sustainability. Drawing inspiration from the intricate beauty of nature, I am often captivated by the subtle details and hidden complexities of the world we inhabit. Whether it’s the delicate symmetry of a skeleton leaf or the rhythmic patterns found in fungi, I am endlessly fascinated by the interconnectedness of all living things.
In my practice, I strive to translate these observations into tangible forms, employing a variety of mediums and techniques to bring my vision to life. One of my primary mediums is knitting. I use the knitting machine and natural fibers like silk, wool, and cotton to create intricate patterns and textures reminiscent of natural phenomena. For example, I might draw upon the delicate symmetry of a mushroom to inform the intricate lacework of a knitted piece. In addition to knitting, I am deeply intrigued by the potential of biomaterials, such as fungi dye and bioplastics, to revolutionize sustainable practices. By cultivating fungi in controlled environments, I can harness their natural pigment-producing properties to create vibrant, unique prints for my textiles.
Similarly, I explore the possibilities of bioplastics derived from organic sources such as algae and agar, which offer a renewable alternative to conventional plastics. I explore the use of natural dyes sourced from plants, fruits, and flowers. By harnessing the vibrant hues in nature’s palette, I can infuse my work with rich, organic colors that reflect the beauty of the natural world.
I explore the inherent potential of organic processes through experimentation with these materials and techniques. I seek to evoke emotion and provoke thought, challenge preconceived notions, and expand the boundaries of perception. Each piece I create reflects my commitment to ethical practices and mindful consumption.
My work is driven by a profound desire to create moments of connection and resonance, bridging the gap between the viewer and the natural world and fostering a deeper appreciation for the wonders around us. Ultimately, my work celebrates the human experience and pays tribute to the awe-inspiring beauty of our world. My creative work aims to inspire others to see the world with new eyes and embrace its inherent magic and mystery.
