For many fashion designers, travel is a significant source of inspiration. It is indeed the same case for me. Travel is a priority - I take time to explore the world and always come back from my trips full of creative ideas and jitters to design and make beautiful things. In January 2015 I took a trip to Guatemala. It is always fascinating to me to learn about the country and its people. Local textiles in Guatemala reflect the richness and variety of the nature. I fell in love.
When I came back home, I got to working in my sketchbook - I collected imagery, I sketched, and I sketched some more. I love shapes and as you can see below, I located an image of a woman weaving a fabric and abstracted it into a shape. I also took an photo of a Mayan pyramid and simplified it with a few strokes of a crayon.

I came up with many combinations of colors and shapes and textures to achieve the final designs. Like travel, design is a journey and I can tell you that I truly love the creative experience. I hope this passion is obvious in my design work!
