Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Get to know creative people, new points of views, having an exchange, experience the unexpected. Love getting to know other cultures!
ABOUT ME
I am a fashion designer/artist and teacher and I am currently living in my hometown, Zurich.
My early twenties I spent mostly in London, where I studied and where I have taken lots of inspiration from! I‘m
still a Londoner in my heart, though also generally a big traveler.
I use pretty much every oppurtunity to discover the worlds diversity of places and people and different cultures, and I‘ve been to large parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa so far…
I am highly interested into all kinds of art, ethnology, natural medicine🌱🌱🌱, archeology, environment, history, traveling, philosophic talks, psychology, photography, cinema, music (especially World music/Dub but also paych rock and so on), etcetc.
I love getting to know new people with different backgrounds, just to get input to think about and to widen my horizon. I am very open minded, spontaneous, optimistic and up for adventures.
Next project will be to learn Ayurveda massage in India. Wanna know more about yoga philosophy too. ✨✨✨
As a host, I am happy to show you around Zurich.
My flat is small but sweet and very green with a garden.🌿

Teach, Learn, Share
