I was born between two rivers in the mountains of Romania. My earliest memories come in fragments: the pedal of my grandmother’s sewing machine, the little blue notebook filled with dresses I had yet to make, and the whimsical winter traditions of my native Transylvania. My passion for textiles and design took root early and has never wavered. An insatiable curiosity for the history of textiles is matched only by my constant search for original and revolutionary perspectives on this ancient craft.

My thirst for knowledge led me to earn a BFA in Fabric Design from the University of Georgia (UGA), with a study abroad at the Kawashima Textile School in Japan, followed by an MFA in Textiles from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of companies, including Tiffany&Co., Disney, Converse, Microsoft Research, Milliken & Company, Diane von Furstenberg, Atlanta Ballet, Hurley, Galerie Solis, and Geometry House.

In recent years, my focus has shifted to the interior textile market, where, in collaboration with cross-functional teams, I curate and help design collections that span wovens, print and patterned textiles. With a deep commitment to craftsmanship and design excellence, my professional work harmonizes tradition and innovation, creating timeless, elevated designs that resonate with both beauty and purpose.
