Who am I?
I have received my diploma from HAW of design in Hamburg. First, I worked as a designer in the fashion printing industry in the southern part of Germany. Nowadays I create textile jewellery or small series where I integrate textile structures in precious metals. I had started by transforming hair-thin metal threads into wearable textile sculptures. More recently, I have developed textiles constructions like knit or crochet in fine silver thread that I fuse with silver plates, known as Keum-boo. To integrate colours I am using enamel or biopolymère resin coloured with precious pigments like the Medici RED.
I am participating at various exhibitions like “Design is in the house” in Mont-Pèlerin organised by Oliver Schneider and Patricia Pittet and the “Designdays” 2019 in Geneva/Pavillon SICLI and at the gallery "Series Rares" run by Emmanuel Excoffier(EXEM) and his wife Mireille. . My necklace “Medio” has been chosen by the association FormForum to present different Swiss designer at the ”Designer Saturdays 2016”, My work is now presented at Galerie CEBRA, Düsseldorf
