I’m a freelance textile and fashion designer. I adore colors, but often find myself very limited by color schemes which repeat in my mind. For me, the best recipe against this mental laziness is to take photographs of seemingly insignificant things which often hide an infinity of fresh and surprisingly beautiful color palettes. 

This is always the starting point of my mood board. Successively, I add forms, textures, materials and final atmosphere.

This is one of my mood boards for an accessories collection on which I have been working recently.
