When I started making shoes nearly 20 years ago, I realized how wonderful it is to work with “LEATHER”.
The smell of the leather makes me feel happy and the ability of the leather makes me to be creative.

My inspiration for design comes primarily from colours and shapes I see in everyday life. Colours and shapes in nature, in seasons, on streets, at markets, on clothes someone is wearing, and in other product designs … I pick them up from everywhere. On good sunny days, I see more colours in the light, they encourages my ideas to form to the products I create.
