I studied textile- & surface design at weißensee kunsthochschule berlin and continued to work as a scientist for the Saxony Textile Research Institute in Chemnitz. Currently, I work as a freelance knitting designer, doing consulting, development and production for companies, fashion labels and theatres. In addition, I’m facilitating workshops to understand basic and industrial knowledge about knitting, and necessary programs to design them (M1Plus, Paint Terrot, Designaknit, Kniterate).
Next to this, I’m creating installations and objects out of my textiles. These are shown on different art festivals, in museums and other exhibition formats. I successfully launched limited editions of a scarf collection and a fashion collection. That’s why I want to start selling my designs online soon. I’m taking orders worldwide.
