about___ I could never imagine my life without visual thinking. It seems like my first language has always been an image instead of a written word. An image of context and aesthetic combined. Visual art is where I can get lost and find myself again - whether it is an exquisite masterpiece or beauty found in ugliness. Since early childhood I have developed my drawing skills in various mediums, but it took years to find my own distinctive illustration style that is now easily recognised among friends and peers. I am mostly interested in free - hand drawings where use of eraser is not necessary the expression of imperfect lines is what defines my style. Throughout my educational path I have gained conceptual and technical design thinking as an architecture student. In the following years I continued my studies in sustainable fashion design at Copenhagen School of Design and Technology (KEA). Currently I am a 6th semester fashion design student at VIA University College.

SHIRT “ELEVEN“ Shirt Eleven is inspired by youth culture and rebellion. By combining elements of vintage photography, illustration and graphics the outcome gives a nostalgic, even romantic feel. Influences of racing cars and driver suits can be seen in usage of logos and texts in bright, primary colours. Photography elements such as the ski jumper, roses and architecture are all extracts from diapositives of a family archive dating back to 70’s - 80’s in Latvia which at that time was part of the Soviet Union. The playful hand-drawn illustrations are in contrary to the strict order of communism and celebrates the spirit of youth, beauty and freedom. The design can be worn on both sides with the long ends of the collar tied together or left open. The length allows the wearer to experiment by tying the straps around the body or even as a headband. The detachable straps are optional and can be tightened or loosened around the wrists and above the elbow. By playing with the shape and function the shirt Eleven can be worn in multiple ways. Shirt was printed on 100% cotton using the digital textile printer in KEA’s workshop “Makerlab”.
