"My muse is the material from which my creation begins. At the very beginning, I have to find an inspiring material, then the theme follows, and then the creative game begins."

 

There are very special and different situations in which these paths cross, most of the time recognizing the right thing is a great joy and what's more, sometimes I can't wait to get back to my studio and work."

playful shapes

Her work is characterized by playful forms of geometry and functional small details. In designing a variety of accessories, she also pays great attention to each product's inner beauty – creating joyous and reflective lining solutions. Various ANDRON models are original designs that are patented.
