I work as a fashion and textile designer and live in Berlin.
During my master’s degree at Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin, I focused my work on knitwear and textile design.
Since I have specialized in knitwear design, I have been passionate about making sustainability an integral part of the designing process. What drives me is the vision to design our everyday objects in a way that intuitively inspires consumers to use them consciously.
Through the use of labour-intensive handwork techniques, I try to transfer the time-consuming attention during the creation process into a sensitive and timeless experience on the material. This has given rise to a collection that explores the relationship between material, colour and physicality.
The body is the site of contact between inside and outside, self and world, subject and object. On the clothed figure, a genuine aesthetic emerges between body and dress – a hybrid form that cultural scientist Gertrud Lehnert tries to grasp with the concept of the fashion body. Skin and textile are united in a common haptic, in which both imprint themselves on each other and interact.

A playful examination of self-staging and identity.
In exploration of various materials such as pearls and sponge threads, complex patterns interweave to create masks that tease the viewer with fractured expressions of an unknown face that lies beyond.
Do the masks mystify an otherwise mediocre personality or are they the mere expression of an exploratory mind?
SEND NUDES – The phrase is a cliché-like expression from the generation of app-based dating. It contains the request to send nude pictures and is often presented without digression to complete strangers.
It is a very contemporary paradox in the figurative sense: with minimal effort, without the willingness to show something of oneself, the counterpart is expected to reveal himself in a way that is extremely vulnerable and yet abstractly unapproachable. The need for emotional intimacy is suffocated by the flawless staging of the self in a superficial exhibitionism.
