I could find never fully matched my imagination, so I taught myself to sew — initially as a way to stay sane during the pandemic. Over time, through pattern-making books, YouTube tutorials, and plenty of trial and error, I learned proper techniques. Years of practice and selling my pieces online gave me a strong understanding of sizing, fit, comfort, and translating ideas into physical forms.

When I moved to the Netherlands, I discovered a deep love for flowers. With no formal training, I taught myself to create arrangements, often sourcing blooms from multiple shops (and occasionally from the streets). It became clear that floral design, like clothing, was a way for me to combine creativity with hands-on craftsmanship.
