“My work is driven by a simple idea: fashion is a way to tell stories. From turning melodies into visual patterns to building immersive virtual worlds, I focus on making designs that not only look good but also tell interesting and meaningful stories. At its core, my goal is to create fashion that sparks curiosity, joy, and connection. For me, every piece is a chance to share a story and make fashion a little more exciting.”
