manifesto

For many of us, craft finds us before we fully understand it. We grow up surrounded by it, and at some point we recognize that it is one of the most universal way to communicate what words cannot. Being drawn to a process that is slow, labor-intensive, and technically demanding is not accidental — everything about it is intentional and stems from curiosity.

My practice is built on natural dyeing and weaving, supported by research and critical thinking, and informed by years working alongside generations of artisans from indigenous communities. Creating work that tells the stories of a place through color and material.

Witnessing communities bring their backgrounds, cultures, and personal experiences into their practice made clear that textile making is a shared language — one that connects people across nations and generations. That sense of connection is what drives me.

My mission is to create work that builds meaningful relationships between people, place, and purpose. To carry forward inherited knowledge while pushing it into new territory. To treat craft and innovation as two sides of the same practice, and to commit fully to both.
