Everything has potential

Find a material

I begin with what I often find thrown away: receipts, plastic bottles, paper, etc. No medium is safe from me!

Experiment

I spend countless hours testing the limits of my materials, forming it into something unrecognizable from it's original form.

Create

After the method has been narrowed down, I create the final design and piece everything together.

Custom recycled couture

Any material, transformed into a high-fashion piece.

Bring the unexpected: pool floaties, packaging, old textiles, or a material with a story. Together, we’ll explore its possibilities and create a one-of-a-kind outfit built around your idea.

Start a custom commission

Tell me what you want to transform and the kind of outfit you imagine.
