High Performance Textiles Development. Handling projects in technical fabrics, added-value in terms of aesthetics, and combining a complex range of all kinds of fabrics into a new arrangement of textiles for seasonal product development.
I am ambitious about the art and design of high quality textiles which hold artistic appeal to the industrial methods in a sustainable way.
Since 2011, Attended and planing exhibitions such as Premiere Vision Paris, ISPO Munich, where I was able to draw trend forecast from many ideas and visionaries from the world’s leading fabric suppliers.
This certainly enhanced design philosophy, as I became addicted to transforming the poetic descriptions of the trend forecasts, and absorbs concept from all kinds of art & design areas.
