OWN is a small independent creative brand created by me. Everything you find here begins with an idea and is made by hand — from the first sketch to the finished piece.
I work with different materials and techniques: I design and sew linen and cotton textiles, shape and hand-paint ceramic beads, create leather pieces, and paint original artworks in oils. I also turn my paintings into small paper pieces, such as art postcards.
I like learning new techniques and giving myself the freedom to explore different forms of making. What connects everything I create is the same approach: I want each piece to be thoughtful, useful or beautiful — and, whenever possible, both.
For my textile and leather pieces, I pay particular attention to how they work in real life. I make prototypes, use them myself and refine the details until they feel right. With my art and ceramic pieces, I enjoy the slower, more intuitive side of creating — working with my hands, colour and texture.
OWN is a collection of things I genuinely enjoy making and would be happy to have in my own life.
