profile
With rotohrara design studio I am focusing on creating technical sportswear apparel and textile graphics.
Beyond I am strongly believing in the enriching exchange between different disciplines of creativity and art. To me, it is all about investigating the principles of functional design in regards to its expressive potential without any institutional or contextural boundaries.
By merging innovative methods with hands-on craftmanship, I believe each project will lead to its very distinct outcome.
Dignity and responsibility towards our resources are key. It's about a commitment to fight for a circular textile process and to drive responsible material innovation in an high-tech environment. Ensuring fair labor standards and treating everyone involved in the production of a garment with the same respect must be a given, with no excuses.
I believe in thorough research and a deep understanding of the subject matter. In the process driving the design, in craftwomenship, in holistic expertise and in the designer's responsibility for creating relevant and long lasting solutions!
Being part of a group of inter-disciplinary collaborators, each single project will be handled with individual care and higly specialized expertise in a variaty of creative fields.
