I am based in Vienna.
In my projects I explore the boundaries between fashion design, art and science, to create multidisciplinary works. I am fascinated by the human body especially the (in)visible platform around it and by the applications this existing infrastructure can have.
Believing in symbiosis, networks, exchange and individuality, my work seeks to consider plants, animals, fungi and even bacteria as equally respected partners in finding solutions to global matters.

crocheted membrane
The crocheted membrane project translates scientific data into crochet pieces representing a design language in-between science and fashion design.This project is a visualisation of how we could use our unique bacteria population to create new clothes which would react to our individual body temperature. The texture would get less thick on areas where we need less warmth and would built up on cold body zones and create new body related silhouettes.
