About Me In my circle I am perceived often either as a designer among engineers or as an engineer among designers, depending on group. I made my first patterns at the High School of Art, but later these were refined in patterns for textile surfaces at the Technical University of Iasi.
About My Designs The textile engineering taught me to consider the principle "less is more" seriously. I try to apply it in my pattern designs whatever their source of inspiration or destination.
My Source of Inspiration The unique cultural heritage of Romania and its rich natural diversity are for me an inexhaustible treasure of documentation.
Typical for designs from
my country
The polychrome pottery of the Cucuteni culture, The traditional ornaments from various ethnographic regions of Romania
Besides patterns I design Raster and Vector Patterns, Jacquard Woven Fabric Design (Arahne CAD/CAM), Print Design
