Where it all started

Designing has always been a part of me.

As a little girl, I used to play with my grandma’s clothes—cutting, pinning, transforming them into something new. I had piles of sketches and drawings of dresses, whole collections only I knew about. 

For a long time, I thought that part of me was just a childhood phase—something I’d leave behind as I grew up.
But years later, when I began dancing, something shifted and I got back to the joy of creating. 

At first, it was just for myself. For my very first dance competition, I had two dresses—one made by my mom, and one made by me. I still remember sitting and gluing stones onto a basic practice dress, never imagining where this road might lead.

And yet a few years later one of my dresses coming alive on the floor of the biggest and most prestigious competition in the world - The Blackpool.

This has always been my thing.
Something that makes me feel alive, that brings me joy, and that I’m endlessly passionate about.

Design Philosophy

At the heart of my brand is more than just dressmaking—it’s storytelling.

I don’t simply create ballroom dresses. I design collections with meaning, each united by a theme—like gemstones, flowers, or elements of nature. Every dress I make carries a story, a symbol, a purpose. It’s not just about looking beautiful—it’s about becoming something unique on the floor.

While most dressmakers focus on mass production, market and trends, I focus on concept, craftsmanship, and couture-inspired artistry. My approach combines fashion and ballroom dance in a way that’s rarely seen—creating dresses that are part of a curated collection, just like in the world of high fashion.

As a Pro-Am competitor, I bring direct knowledge of the competitive ballroom environment, allowing me to design gowns that maximize impact on the dance floor, meet the physical demands of competition, and amplify dancer personality and artistry.

No copies, no replicas, no shortcuts.

Each piece is custom, intentional, and personal.
Because in ballroom dance, you’re not just another dancer.
You’re a story in motion. And your dress should tell your story.

Vision. Concept. Process

A Couture Process, Designed Around You​

 

Every gown I create begins with you — your personality, your presence, and the story you want to tell on the floor.My approach is deeply personal, intuitive, and never formulaic. I don’t believe in templates or replicas.

 

My process:

  • Personal Design Questionnaire. You begin by completing a custom questionnaire I’ve created to understand who you are as a dancer — your character, energy, musicality, the image you translate on the floor, and the details that make you unique.

  • Concept & Collection Alignment. Based on your responses, we determine which of my signature collections resonates most with you. From there, I develop a concept tailored to your style, while carefully analyzing your body type, movement, hair color, and the color palette that enhances your natural features and stage presence.

  • One-of-a-Kind Creation. I do not create replicas — neither of other designers’ work nor of my own past designs. Each gown is designed from scratch, exclusively for you, ensuring your look is original, expressive, and unmistakably yours.

​​

The result: A couture ballroom gown that reflects your individuality, elevates your movement, and allows you to step onto the floor with confidence, clarity, and presence.
