I am a master student at Concordia University in Design, Fibres and Anthropology. My research is about fashion design and tactility. While I was studying fashion design at UQÀM, I completed an internship at the Chinese fashion designer Zhang Da’s studio in Shanghai. One of my projects was presented at MOMU, in Belgium. My inspiration emerges from the exploration of the unknown and the consideration of intangible ideas. I am interested in the passage of time, emotions and contemporary philosophy. I try to transcend the boundaries of fashion. New technologies and contemporary textiles fascinate me.
