How and when did you start sewing?
I began sewing clothes when I was 15 years old, back in 2015, at the home of a retired tailor I knew. Here, I learned the fundamental techniques of garment construction and sewing. This experience was incredibly rewarding and ignited my passion for textiles.

How would you describe your style?
Two years ago, I embarked on creating my own textile wall hangings. The inspiration for these came during my time at the Textile School in Holte, where I started experimenting with quilting techniques. I was captivated by the three-dimensional surfaces that emerged from this method, which allowed me to explore the interplay of form, colour and texture, particularly through the use of contrasting colours.

Who or what is an important creative reference to you?
I draw immense inspiration from the female artist Sonia Delaunay. Her dynamic use of colour and geometry in her paintings influences my work, infusing it with a sense of vitality and movement.
Currently, I am in my second semester at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, studying Clothing and Textiles, where I continue to evolve my creative expression.
