Her work is unique and very special, as she is using the method of hand-made serigraphy for the prints of her clothes, as well as digital stamping. Each piece has its own character and her collections are really different and exclusive. In some cases, she is combining the art of serigraphy with the art of direct painting. This method is mostly used on her famous T-shirts.
