In My Own Words
The synergy between my passion for the great outdoors and my creativity has shaped my perception of innovative design. Leading a healthy and active lifestyle has been catalyst to my vision to create transformational outerwear for people to live their adventures to the fullest. From buying, merchandizing and designing, every experience I have lived has only further fuelled my strong interest for fabric knowledge, product development, effective design and aesthetics.
