Ma in Visual communication and a background in fine art;
she started her profession as a freelance designer in 2003. Her practice
embraces illustration, painting, graphic design, building fashion
concepts, and making silk-screen prints + definitely more.
Inspirations comes equally from the worlds of fashion, hardcore music,
and traditional art and design and in general observing the world around
her.
The illustration style is basically about "finding some untouched areas
of the mind and stimulating the eye and imagination.

solid perfume Filth, as well as an award-winning children book. Her
works have been included in a wide variety of fashion/graphic magazines
