Laser-cut apparel design

I focus on apparel design specializing in laser-cut technology with a focus on perception—best known for using laser-cutting at the material level to distort garment volume and movement in unexpected, expressive ways. My work often brings a playful tone to design, challenging how we perceive and interact with clothing.

Thesis on uniformization

My thesis explores the concept of uniformization in society. From a young age, we’re taught to perform in unison—how to sit in school, how to behave in public, and how to dress in ways that align with community expectations. As children, we’re conditioned to blend in, to follow the rules.

Worked on Yeezy x GAP

I ended up flying to LA to work on the Yeezy x GAP collection. From there, I worked closely with the Yeezy design, production, and development teams—an incredibly talented group of creatives from all over the world.

Joined Nike collaborations team

That turned into an opportunity to join Nike’s collaborations team, which some may remember as Nikelab. Since then, I’ve had the chance to work on collabs with brands like: Jacquemus, Supreme, Stüssy, Corteiz, Patta and more to come.
