The use of national and sustainable raw materials reinforces the connection and dedication that the designer puts into each product created.“I don’t want people to have the piece as just a static object in their homes.

For years, the designer worked in the graphic and advertising world, but she realized that that phase of her life was no longer for her. made more sense, since his passion for design was already speaking louder.
