I am an absolute city kid and have never left my hometown of Hamburg for longer than three months. What I love about city life is that there are many different, even opposing influences to absorb, that I can easily come into contact with people of diverse cultures, milieus, and religions and thus get to know a wide variation of life realities. There is art found on every corner and, oftentimes there is even a festival that you can attend. I love the green of this city, the waters with its lively banks. When everything gets too loud, too fast, and too much for me, I walk to the suburbs of the city.

Dipl. fashion design, specializing in textile hand repairs.

I prefer to repair knitwear and appreciate visible mending as much as the endless possibilities to arrange a mending project artistically. I feel as connected to the Visible Mending movement as I do to traditional craftsmanship and good design. For Repair Rebels, I will do visible mending for now. It is the technical term for repairing textile damage as invisibly as possible.
