About

Designing menswear since 2002 across luxury, premium and lifestyle. Experience shaped at Stephan Schneider, Viktor & Rolf, Calvin Klein and Marc O’Polo. Navigating concept, product and commercial reality with equal focus. Years within large European organisations have added a deep understanding of diverse markets, audiences and cultural contexts. Working across diverse brands and audiences has built a versatile design perspective, moving from expressive luxury to refined, modern menswear for a broader market. Strong design is never accidental. It grows from curiosity, trust and collaboration, guided by a clear point of view. Today, the focus lies in leading creative teams and shaping menswear where taste meets commercial relevance, with longevity, quality and cultural connection at its core
