Knitwear Studio.
Made am Chiemsee

What first drew me to creating knitwear was the desire to work with my hands and natural materials, the possibility to immediately transform my creative ideas into wearable artefacts. After first career years in the fashion and design industry, I founded ‘Made am Chiemsee’, a knitwear manufacture and brand based in my hometown. I ran it full time from 2013 to 2017.

Working hands-on with traditional hand-knitting machines has been a creative, grounding practice — balancing the fast-paced, digital dynamics of our time with crafting considerate, soft, wearable layers. The artisanal way of manufacturing manifests in a distinct, somewhat raw, handcrafted aesthetic, while allowing for the creation of one-of-a-kind pieces and small-scale production.

I collaborated with high end brands and ateliers, such as bridal studios, to develop refined, made-to-order pieces.
