I began my career in the textile materials industry before finding my way into the leather sector in 2011. What first attracted me to leather was not only its natural beauty, but also the story behind every hide—from the sourcing of raw materials and the tanning process to the way leather accompanies a product throughout years of use.

Over the past 15 years working with leather and the tanning industry, I have been fortunate to learn from colleagues, manufacturers, designers, and customers from different parts of the world. These experiences have helped me gain a deeper understanding of the diverse needs, trends, and standards across markets, while also teaching me that there is no single material solution that fits every application.

Over time, I have come to believe that the value of my work does not lie simply in selling a product. What matters most is listening carefully, understanding each customer’s needs, and working together to find the most suitable solution. Trust, built through sincerity, professional knowledge, and a long-term commitment to supporting customers, has always been the foundation of my approach.

I still consider myself a lifelong learner. By sharing knowledge and practical experience, I hope to contribute in a small way to a better understanding of leather as a material, and to help more people appreciate its beauty, durability, and the lasting value that natural materials can bring.
