ABOUT ME

ABOUT ME


I’m a curious person that gathers inspiration and information from many various sources, definitely not only design related. I am analytical and methodical but not afraid of being experimental and exploring the unknown. From my previous jobs I’ve learnt to work under high pressure and still manage to keep a good mood and positive attitude.

During my time at Central Saint Martins I gained great insight into human centred design and branding strategies. Through my work experience I have developed great knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes and the possibilities of innovative use of materials.

In my final year project Music of the Spheres I focused on perceptions and senses, and I have a passion for understanding how materials and object around us affect our bodies and minds.
