She is also a theatrical make up artist and costume designer. During her studies she travelled to Rome and spent a winter term attending Accademia di Belle Arte within the Sokrates/Erasmus programme.

Since early age she showed lots of creativity, always making things and later customizing and making her own clothes and accessories.

She translate her ideas and skills into unique pieces, integrating art into a wearable object.

Her bags contradict the museum function of an art piece by using the human body and space around it to show her creations.

She takes her inspiration from the anatomy, nature, the opulence of the Baroque and historical costume. She was always fascinated by handbags, their history, design and forms of embellishment. She considers it an inseparable part of the female wardrobe and ultimate accessory which contains woman’s most precious possessions.
