What place/city do you find inspiring?

Most of the places in the world but I was really inspired by London.

What is the concept of your collection? 

I was inspired by the views that surrounded me.

…and I saw the tree outside the window beyond my work desk blooming after a hard and cold winter. Now when it gives red strawberries it is my time to give my fruits too. I met with the moon, stars and other things of natures' magic that inspired this collection. 

This collection is all about games between light and darkness with variety of shapes and materials.
