About me
I am a highly motivated and forward thinking individual with a vision to change the landscape of fashion. My multidisciplinary training has allowed me to achieve high adaptability, versatility and fast learning of new disciplines. I am also curious about fashion as a form of Art, which is in a nonstop state of evolution.
