I'm a handbag and leather goods designer based in New York.
I was born in Jakarta Indonesia, grew up and lived in different parts of this beautiful world, between Malaysia, Tunisia, Jordan, Indonesia and Switzerland. Finally settled in New York since 2002 with a mission to experience the fashion industry inside out.
Currently residing in Queens, proudly known as the World's Borough, as it is the most culturally diverse borough in New York City !
My inspirations come from everywhere, mostly from my passion for artisanal crafts, traveling, to exploring New York City Melting Pot boroughs in my free time, while experiencing its diverse culinary and multi cultural options.
I love taking ideas from concept to full execution, creating seasonal, large or small capsule collections of handbags and leather good accessories. Take a look around and enjoy.
** Available for freelance/consultancy & collaborative projects in New York and worldwide.
