Hello there,
and welcome to the site! ︎
There is a certain sensitivity I'd love to possess; when beauty in detail and playfulness of colour is established by the clarity of function.
and welcome to the site! ︎
Along the path of studying, working, and meeting like-minded companions, I’ve been fortunate enough to explore different mediums of creativity - starting from the art of theatre and movement, continuing into the art of cooking to working with spaces and furniture.
I’m a multidiciplinary creator, who has been trained to orient in human scale architecture for the past 7 years. I find it important to implicate second cycle practices and neutral solutions to needed work.
There is a certain sensitivity I'd love to possess; when beauty in detail and playfulness of colour is established by the clarity of function.
Interested in critical thinking, foodspaces, furniture and poetry.
