Describe your approach to teaching:
I am interested in developing people's own design ideas, and like
to encourage the exploration of these in a playful, hands-on
manner. Learning by doing is the key!
What inspires your own work?
My work is process driven - exploring texture and structure through
experimentation, combined with artisan techniques. The Parisian
atelier of the Twenties, where playfulness and couture skills meet
is my ideal.
