About

From a young age, I was drawn to making things with my hands — drawing, crafting, and collecting small objects from nature. I’ve always been sensitive to materials, textures, and spaces, often noticing the beauty and potential in things others might pass by. 

I studied at the Academy of Arts and received my bachelor’s degree in graphic design in 2017. Over the years, I explored different creative directions — graphic design, illustration, photography, painting, ceramics, and candle-making. Slowly returning to what felt most natural to me: working with my hands and natural materials, seeing and capturing beauty around me. 

Today, my creative practice is centred around natural materials, forms, natural light and colours of nature. Creating nature-inspired objects and photographing the beauty of spaces, objects and people. Both come from the same place — curiosity, observation, sensitivity and a desire to create things that make you feel balanced and connected to yourself.  

CORE OF MY CREATIVE PRACTICE

— curiosity and experimentation

— respect for natural materials

— attention to atmosphere and detail

— slow and intentional creation
