WORKSHOP
In response to the growing need for in-person connection and skills exchange, I have expanded my teaching practice through the development of workshops that promote knowledge sharing and community engagement.
I am committed to expanding out of the confines of the traditional fashion studio, transforming it into a more inclusive space for sustainable exploration and open dialogue that engages both academic and public audiences.
