What kinds of works do you like designing most?
I like designing directional pieces where I push my own boundaries.
What was the first thing you designed for a company?
I first designed a collection called 'Walk in my shoes'. It was the SS 2008 collection
What is your favorite material / platform / technology?
I love working with unexpected materials and leather is a wonderful material to work with. I work with leather and sheepskin. Sheepskin is my border after that I don't use animal skins, I use faux fur.
When do you feel the most creative?
I feel the most creative once I have started a collection. Starting is always difficult but once I get into the feeling of the collection then I start to flow.
Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
I am always busy with form and how this relates to the body of course.
Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
I develop my designs myself in a very organic way but my designs are always influenced by the people around me.
