After nearly ten years working as a designer in the fast-paced fashion industry, where everything felt rushed, I began to feel a quiet pull toward something slower. I realized I had never truly given myself the space to explore my creativity.

So I started over. I taught myself how to sew, how to cut, how to shape something from nothing. I turned a small room in my home into a studio, and for three years I made everything by hand, at my own pace. The first time I finished a piece entirely on my own, something clicked. It was calm. It was joy. It was mine.
