I am a textile designer based in London, currently studying for a BA in Textile Design at Central Saint Martins. My creative practice focuses on translating poetic reflection into visual and tactile form. By weaving fabrics, I build sensory combinations of color, texture and rhythm - fabrics that are meant to be worn, used and felt. My work always collides between tradition and modernity. I am drawn to ancient and sustainable textile processes such as hand-dyeing, lace-making and embroidery. These techniques allow me to explore emotions, memories and personal identity through the language of materials. I have a keen interest in researching textile heritage and I approach traditional crafts with respect and curiosity, seeking a harmonious balance between historical techniques and contemporary relevance. I value the slowness and individuality of craftsmanship while noting its potential for commercial and applied design. My goal is to create textiles that are not only expressive and meaningful, but also functional, adaptable and resonant in modern lifestyles. Ultimately, I see textiles as a language - a way to translate the inner landscape into forms that can be touched, held and lived with.

This project, It Still Lives, is based on research and reflection on the culture of folk witchcraft and tarot. These traditional occult symbols not only represent a unique aesthetic system, but have also become an important medium for individuals to build their own narratives, cultural identities and spiritual identities in contemporary society. Through these ancient rituals and symbolic languages, people seek comfort, strength and a sense of belonging. The project will focus on fabric design in the field of women's fashion, attempting to visualize and materialize the language of occult images and symbols into a contemporary wearable design language. Through the integration of traditional craftsmanship and modern weaving techniques, the project aims to develop a series of fabrics with a sense of narrative, emotional expression, and cultural depth, which will help the wearer to build up a self-narrative and identity projection in daily life, and to continue the vitality of ancient symbols in the contemporary context.
