My heart beats for travel, the world of fashion and design, as well as creative craftsmanship. What do all my interests have in common? A conscious approach to fashion!

As a trained fashion designer, I have been working in various sectors of the fashion world for many years. Alongside my label DAINTY DYSTOPIA and a curated, small online shop, I discovered my love for botanically hand-dyed textiles during one of my trips to Mexico. Since then, I have been running my Botanical Dye Studio. In workshops and retreats, I enjoy sharing my knowledge so that people can learn how to handle fashion sustainably and upcycle their garments.

In my role as Creative Consultant for the sustainable fashion trade fair NEONYT Düsseldorf, I work on new sustainability concepts and get to know innovative labels and exciting concepts. Last but not least: As a fashion show stylist and show producer, I bring fashion to life on the catwalk, always keeping an eye on current trends.

Traveling. When I discover new places, I love capturing moods, smells, and colors. Color, for me, is a feeling. It’s powerful and seductive. I try to assign each place I visit a color and recreate it later.

From nature. I fell in love with the world of natural dyeing. It allows me to reconnect with nature in a certain way. There’s always something to discover around every corner, and I often wonder whether I can dye with a particular flower or plant.

I’ve known Repair Rebels since the first edition of NEONYT in Düsseldorf two years ago, and I’m not only impressed by the concept but also by the people behind it.

I love workshops and enjoy sharing my knowledge so that as many people as possible can (re)discover dyeing with natural colors. Possible workshop topics include bundle dye, simple Shibori techniques, dye baths & creating a color matrix, as well as the beautiful world of Ecoprint.
