I started as an embroidery artist in 2015, working in small projects and creating new ways of contemporary applications, since then it has become part of my life.
Thanks to embroidery, I have been able to connect creative worlds and discover new ones.
Trained as an Industrial Designer, my obsession has been to expand the possibilities of embroidery beyond the hoop and sharing the opportunities this craft can offer to creatives.
I have experience as an embroidery tutor and design. Teaching embroidery has been a beautiful way for me to share my passion for this amazing craft. I hope for my students to find in this contemporary practice a new way to express themselves.
