My full name is Emilie, friends call me Emi, and I sign my work with IME.

I am evenly Swiss and Austrian, just as I am as much a Designer and an Athlete.

I started upcycling my used goalkeeper gloves into unique pieces a few years ago because I didn't want to throw them away. I was too emotionally attached to the memories they represented. This exploration quickly evolved into a passion and brought my into Industrial design. This interest in upcycling has also become the foundation of my creative values throughout my studies: design with waste or innovate to limit it.

After finishing my Industrial design degree and starting a Master in Merchandising & Apparel design, I decided to start playing football professionally yet still wanted to continue pursuing my creative journey. Nowadays, I spent most of my spare time creating, collecting lost memories, and developing this project. With the grateful help of my family/friends who have helped me grow the project. Without their help, I would still just be creating stuff for myself.
