About Me

I’m a narrative designer, costume maker, and creative strategist working at the crossroads of story, identity, and immersive experience.

My practice is rooted in the belief that stories are lived as much as they are told and that every detail, from a character’s silhouette to the visible stitch on a sleeve, carries meaning. Whether I’m crafting garments for a fantasy world or designing the emotional logic of an immersive event, I treat design as a language for deeper connection.

I didn’t arrive here through a conventional route. Due to long-term health challenges in my teenage years, I wasn’t able to follow a formal education but where classrooms fell away, creativity and curiosity stepped in. I taught myself through books, practice, and relentless experimentation turning limitations into tools. Over the years, I’ve built a career from the ground up.

With a background in historical costuming, folklore, speculative design, and live-action storytelling, I specialize in building fictional worlds that feel real enough to step into. I’ve worked across Europe as a freelance designer and writer, creating narrative-rich experiences that blend physical performance with visual storytelling.

Alongside my creative work, I’m part of an innovation team exploring how emerging technologies like generative AI intersect with ethics, authorship, and visual culture. I’m particularly interested in how we preserve narrative integrity and cultural nuance in an age of accelerated image-making and how traditional skills are to be preserved as fundations to new generations.

At heart, I’m a world-builder. I’m drawn to layered, character-driven stories, the ones you don’t just consume, but inhabit. My work lives in that space between fabric and fiction, instinct and intention, spectacle and soul.
