CAREER OBJECTIVES


I see myself working as a freelance designer primarily selling patterns and working on commissions both within textile design as well as bordering

into interior and furnishing. In between my commissions as a freelance designer, I am also working on personal brand for childrens clothing.


I like to have a strong personality within my creativity and let this shine through in ready-made designs while taking a step back when being commissioned as it is always a pleasuring experience to create through someone elses brief and within someone elses style. 

My intention is to have a career that is rich in experience.

WORK WITH ME

I offer services within the whole spectrum of print, knit and weave and have good experience with industrial production. 

If you are in need of a designer with a fun and functional perspective on textiles and interior, and a strong sense of flexibility and teamwork, do not hesitate to send me a message.
