I’m drawn to the subtle power of seduction—of ideas, forms, people and material.

Curiosity fuels my connection to fashion , but empathy gives it meaning. It’s what transforms individual passion into collective vision.

  • I’m captivated by the art of seduction—whether it comes from an object, a moment, or a person.

    Seduction awakens curiosity; curiosity gives life to my fascination with fashion and material.

    But beyond aesthetics lies empathy—the ability to feel what others feel. In a team, that shared understanding becomes the most beautiful form of creation.

    Whenever something moves me, I ask:
    Why?
    What emotion binds us, and how does it manifest in what we make?

  • My journey in the world of Fashion-Color-Materidal-Product Design began with a formative experience at Menswear Designer Asger Juel Larsen based Copenhagen. Here I experienced the highs and hardships of a startup fashion brand.

    Building on that foundation, I spent the next seven years at ECCO, evolving from a Color & Material Designer into a Material Developer, and eventually stepping into the role of Lead Designer.

    At ECCO, I cultivated a deep understanding of leather and its influence across the fashion landscape. I lead a team of talented designers, foster cross-functional collaboration, and helped drive an inspiring brand recognized for innovation in materials. My work opened doors to creative partnerships with leading fashion and lifestyle powerhouses.
