I manage the day-to-day operations of a dynamic garment printing studio, ensuring all projects are completed efficiently and on schedule. A key part of my role is building strong customer relationships, from understanding their unique print requirements and color-matching to producing high-quality, perfectly printed merchandise.With expertise in both direct-to-garment (DTG) and screen printing, I take a hands-on approach to troubleshooting and problem-solving, ensuring smooth production processes. I am also committed to sustainability, integrating eco-friendly practices throughout the studio and working exclusively with suppliers who meet ethical and sustainability standards.In addition to production management, I oversee the studio's online presence and marketing activities, helping to grow our brand and expand our reach across the UK.

I simultaneously record individual moments in time and which makes the invisible visible.My research interests include Somatic Movement, Musique Concrete, Music Scores, Performance Drawing, Cymatics and female pioneers of electronic music.
