Balancing function and form

“I’ve always been drawn to the challenge of making something that fits effortlessly into daily life, without compromising on form. To a quiet balance of design and purpose, where every detail has earned its place.”

“I test, refine, readjust, rethink. I add buttons and zippers, and then gently hide them to keep my designs as pure as possible. Small details matter, from the way a flap folds to how compartments fall into place. I believe in conscious creation, and in the time it takes to get there.”
