“Jewellery entered into my life quite late – but with great intensity”.

“I am a maker of contemporary jewelry and I want to make my pieces alive. It gives me great pleasure to create and make jewelry. I really like to transform my ideas into real objects, only using my own hands and skills. Jewelry making is for me a wonderful process of unfolding. It opens windows into new worlds, it pushes me to new limits, it challenges me – and it makes me very happy.”

Handmade bag Renate

“Ever since I was a child I have been drawn to creating things in particular materials, preferably in leather. I am in love with the beauty of the texture and its smell. The shapes of my handbags often followed the structure of the leather skin and its shape. I try to achieve a balance between functionality design and high quality. They are all timeless unique pieces.”
