About Klostée

The inspiration for Klostée is rooted in the symbolism of the thread—a motif that transcends time and cultures, representing both the start and the evolution of our individual journeys. In my work, I see each thread as a possibility, each knot as a lesson, and each tapestry as a reflection of the unique stories we gather and share. As a designer and artist informed by my experience as a doula, I am continually in awe of the circularity of life—how our origins, connections, and creative expressions are interwoven, echoing ancient wisdom and present-day intention.

Our beginnings are marked by the umbilical cord, our first lifeline, linking us to the placenta—the tree of life. At birth, this cord, our metaphorical thread, is gently severed, and we greet the world with our first breath, lungs filling with new possibility. Just as threads can be snipped or unraveled, so too can life’s course change at any moment.

Drawing from the wellspring of my Greek ancestry, I am especially moved by the mythology of the Three Fates: Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos—who spun, measured, and determined the destiny of every soul. In their hands, life’s thread is woven with care, measured with purpose, and at times, brought to its end, reminding us of the beauty and fragility of existence. Their mythological roles—spinning, measuring, and ultimately deciding the end of life’s thread—mirror our own experiences of choice, chance, and change. In my practice, I honour this mythic triad by crafting designs that invite growth and transformation, while also respecting the fragility and strength inherent in each individual’s path. The thread becomes a metaphor not only for life itself, but also for the enduring connections that bind us to our past, shape our present, and inspire our future.

For me, the name Klostée encompasses my holistic design philosophy and personal journey, infusing everything I create with intention and circularity. Klostée is a celebration of stories woven into the fabric of life, of destinies shaped by interlacing paths, and of the artistry that emerges when design, heritage, and humanity intersect. Through Klostée, I honour the circles and connections that thread my story, weaving new narratives along every step of my journey. 

Every project I undertake with Klostée is approached as a collaborative weaving; together with my clients, I explore the textures of memory, aspiration, and vision. Whether through textile, graphic, or branding work, I am committed to crafting pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful—artworks that honour heritage and herald new beginnings. This cyclical process of creation and reflection is at the heart of my practice, infusing each design with purpose, emotion, and a sense of belonging.

Klostée is an invitation: to see your story as a tapestry in progress, to embrace the threads that connect you to culture, creativity, and community, and to celebrate the artistry of your own life’s journey.
