I live and work between Freiburg, Germany, and Mazunte, Mexico, as a textile artist and designer. In addition, I teach Fluentbody™, a form of somatic dance. I studied Textile and Surface Design at Weißensee Kunsthochschule Berlin and later worked as a researcher at the Saxony Textile Research Institute in Chemnitz.

Currently, I work as a freelance knitting designer, offering consulting, development, and production services for companies, fashion labels, and theaters. I also facilitate workshops to share knowledge on both basic and industrial knitting techniques, including pattern programming with tools like M1Plus, Paint Terrot, Designaknit, and Kniterate.

Alongside this, I create textile-based installations and objects that have been exhibited at art festivals, museums, and various exhibitions. I have successfully launched limited editions of a scarf collection and a fashion line, and I plan to start selling my designs online soon, accepting orders worldwide.

For the past two years, I lived in Guelph, Canada.

Feel free to get in touch—I’d love to connect!
