Crafts
In my work, I combine traditional craft techniques such as crochet, macramé, weaving, punch needle, and tufting with modern aesthetic principles to create unique pieces that are both functional and artistic.
Unique Approach
When my hands start knotting, crocheting, or weaving an energy of mindfulness emerges. I create textile artistry – for spaces, people, and the soul. Style, quality, and sustainability are particularly important in my studio.
Each handmade product is one of a kind, focusing on form, aesthetics, sustainability, and durability, as well as individuality and identity. My creations are not just handmade; I also offer personalized custom designs to transform special ideas or wishes into unique items with character and history.
Production Process
It is my mission to make textile handcrafts modern again and to revive the creative integrity of this art form. Art and craft should harmonize, as envisioned by the Arts and Crafts Movement.
Techniques
Crochet: unique fashion statements with modern crocheted headbands made from merino wool in various designs.
Macramé: from stylish pillowcases and life trees to functional items like yoga straps, lanterns, and keychains.
Punch Needle & Tufting: rugs, decorative wall hangings, and textile artworks such as seat cushions.
Weaving: mandalas crafted as serene wall art through thoughtful colour combinations and the use of diverse yarns and wool.
Products
wall hangings with symbolic meaning (Tree of Life, Flower of Life, dreamcatchers, rainbows, geometric symbols).
contemporary wall art.
interior decor (plant hangers, lanterns, decorative cushions, table runners).
modern merino wool headbands in various designs and vintage-style crocheted hats.
accessories (wallets, coasters, keychains).

Materials
Sustainably produced, ethically sourced materials are indispensable to me, whether regionally produced or recycled yarns or 100% Oeko-Tex certified. Only when I feel absolutely confident about my materials can I work with a clear conscience.
Workshops and courses
With passion, I share my knowledge through workshops, offering important insights into materials, preparation, posture and design. I aim to make participants feel how therapeutic textile handcrafts can be. The tactile creative process brings a sense of calm and meditative tranquility.
Inspiration
I am drawn to the beautiful, aesthetic, and mystical aspects of life: I find inspiration in art exhibitions, architecture, interior design, and fashion. I love capturing impressions with my camera and incorporating them into my creations.
As a textile artist, my work revolves around the experience of creative artistry, combining various textile techniques with sustainably high-quality materials and a modern way of thinking and living.
Products: home accessories, home furnishings, table linen, decoration.
