About me
I use fashion as a playground for sustainable innovation, specializing in Post- and Degrowth. Originally a fashion design student at AMFI, I began questioning making product and decided to switch to solving sustainability problems from a more holistic point of view. I explored different angles of sustainability and stuck with the only option which I see potential in: Making and doing less. My work therefore centres around implementing post and degrowth principles within the fashion industry.
