In 2021 she began as a student in the Fabricademy program, where she discovered natural dyes, and since then she has continued her dyeing experiments on different materials. She is currently a member of the Textile Lab in Lyon. She is working on a European project, consisiting in the creation of natural-dyed wool rugs, inspired by regional forms of the Romanian region of Transylvania.
