Master's Student in Fashion, Clothing and Textile Design degree at Aalto University with a BA in Textile and Fashion design from the University of Ljubjlana. Currently interning at Cecile Feilchenfeldt’s knitwear studio and looking for junior design positions to contribute my skills and grow as a designer.
My approach to work lies in translating traditional craftsmanship into modern fashion contexts. As a fashion designer, I have a strong affinity for craftsmanship, knitwear, leather goods, and accessories. Known for precision work and attention to detail, I bring a creative yet logical approach to both hands-on and digital design work.
Throughout my studies and internships, I have gained expertise in knitwear design and development, as well as creating leather goods and accessories [MA Collection Mara 2024, Semifinalist at Louis Vuitton Graduates Initiative 2024]. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and CLO3D.

Throughout my graduate collection I explored the influence growing up on Slovenian-Italian border has had on my design expression. I reminisced about my childhood in the cities of Gorizia and Nova Gorica, and dwelling upon two parallel experiences that have stuck with me since then. One being always taken aback by glamourous older Italian ladies. The other, completely contrasting the previous one, recalls spending time with my Slovenian grandma, who would devote herself to knitting and crocheting. With my graduation collection I tried to combine the two and finally bring symbiosis to this divided place and my clashing identity.
