I remember being asked by people: So, what are you going to be one day? I never liked that question. I felt pressured to fit into something that already existed. It takes courage to realize that all we get to be is true to our selves. What ever that might look like. We always loved to dress ourselves in most ridiculous costumes. Anything out of the ordinary.

It was not until I moved from Germany to Santa Cruz that it was truly time to get on the ball and get myself some nice sewing machines. Ideas compiled over the years, yet the manifestation of my creativity has its own timing. Now, that I have finally made space for ideas to come through I am beginning to overflow and can share some of these creations. A journey it has been
