Ceramics has always been a part of my life. As a child, I got to know this field through my mother's work and creation.

Throughout the years I found myself drawn to two fields – music and material.

Singing allows me to connect to my spiritual parts, making me feel closer and more connected to myself.

Creating ceramics opens endless possibilities for me to create and express my ideas and emotions. Therefore, I can often combine some of my musical creations in my work.

My work moves between design and art. Through design, I express my practical and innovative thoughts about the pottery craft, while art allows me to express my inner musical character.

In my work, I aspire to give my signature and a feeling of esthetics and accuracy.
