My home is perched on the side of a mountain and overlooks a vast desert landscape. The house merges with the environment and there is almost no separation between inside and out. 
Nature – and the need to preserve it and sustain it – plays a big role in my life.
My project is focused on the interrelation between nature, hiking, and myself.  Since I believe sustainability is the only way forward and the ultimate goal, I created my clothing collection using only used travel equipment.  I deconstruct and reconstruct using the draping technique.

I’ve named my collection “atTENTion,” a word that calls upon us to respect nature, to take responsibility for the environment, and to recycle whenever possible.
