About me
I am Lithuanian born creative dreamer and pioneer with sights set on bringing my signature style to the Fashion and Art world. Having graduated from the prestigious London College of Fashion I have worked as an independent artist and designer perfecting my unique take on graphic print and wearable art. I often explore an internalised darkness with my work which challenges the viewer and provokes an almost cerebral response. This darkness is explored through digital manipulation and portrait photography and while macabre in effect there is always a colourful undertone that implies duality. Through commissions and personal projects I am not afraid to bare my own identity and through this connect with and provoke my audience.

     - London, United Kingdom
    The BA (Hons) Fashion Textiles: Print course was situated in the School of Design and Technology. Studying there I gained skills to become innovative textile designer for the fashion industry. Textiles demand an inventive approach to design and realisation, and this course focused on creative approaches to the development and realisation of contemporary fashion textiles. I believe that technology and skills inform the design process and foster creativity. During my studies I have explored surface pattern and texture for fashion fabrics through a strong grounding in drawing techniques, from mark making to illustration, coupled with use of a variety of traditional craft and contemporary digital print processes, including the design of engineered placement prints. I have also studied a range of embellishment processes including embroidery, knit, which have extended my potential for creative design in fashion and art in general.
