Rooted in scientific curiosity and traditional wisdom, she seeks to soften boundaries: between nature and culture, craft and art, the individual and the collective. Sensitive to the physical nature of her work, she embraces impermanence as both a material reality and a philosophical guide with the intent to create consciously. 

With a background in Product Design, she founded Engram in 2020 — a creative studio + shop for material and process-led explorations of everyday objects and art for living spaces.
