Tell us a bit more about your workspace.
"This used to be a garage that we first converted into a gym. After a few years, I realized it would be perfect for my studio, so we switched the rooms and converted the gym into a studio. So, the walls are all covered with mirrors, but I decided to keep them because they bring in more light and create the impression of more space. They also come in handy during fitting sessions for my collections. Everything here is pretty versatile; they have different purposes."

How do you stay organized?
"I spend many hours at my desk — drawing, designing, and thinking. So, I like to keep tools and resources at arms length, whether it's my notebook, color pencils, or scrap paper. Things can get all over the place when I'm in the middle of the process, but after each project I like to clean and reorganize everything. It helps me clear my mind and stay focused. I find it difficult to work when I'm surrounded by clutter."

We love the setup you have here — what’s your personal philosophy when decorating?
"I like to keep my surroundings as minimal as possible, well-functioning and inspiring. There are few things that don`t serve a purpose in my creative process; only the key objects that help get the job done are kept around. It's versatile, practical, and simple in order to keep my creative needs flowing and free of messy clutter."
