About

I am a highly work-oriented, creative and
passionate fashion student from Aalto
University, School of Arts, Design and
Architecture, Helsinki.

My work explores the relationship between
materials and shapes, combined with structural
elements. I use a lot of color, patterns and
shapes to create compli

cated and high energy
materials and garments.

Lately my works have been inspired by video
games, game character types and internet
culture. Also digital errors and the concept that
people think machines work perfectly. I also
draw inspiration from fashion history, politics and
other sources as “what if’s”, and “opposites”
with my modern sources.

I also get inspired
from my other hobbies: I make music, I am a DJ,
and make multimedia art alongside my fashion
studies.

My strengths include print- knitwear- and woven
fabrics design, use of color, tailoring/structural
elements, and my personal ways of gathering
and using deep research. Also being able to
connect all of these ways of making together in
high quality.
