"It's like a dream factory for me. I still see it as a small miracle that an illustration on paper can turn into a 3D product exactly according to my imagination. I see handbags more as objects that fulfill a wearable function. I would compare designing handbags to creating a sculpture, I add, take away and shape the material. I enjoy the entire creative process, from the initial idea and subsequent research, creating a mood board, sketching, modeling and technical drawing, to the first received prototypes from the factory. I always have another Christmas. Sometimes there are several prototypes before we get to the final product. During prototyping in the workshop, I'm usually already thinking about the resulting visual and planning the photo shoot."
