Johanna Hehemann

Aalto University

Fashion & Textile Designer specialising in functional textiles from natural materials and community engagement. In my creative work I find great joy in exploring and researching new materials as well as methods of finishings — particularly around natural dyeing and its medicinal properties. Alongside this I am trying to find ways to engage with community projects and hosting workshops. I co-founded the Fashion and Community Label Dast&Hand and particularly enjoy working on skill-sharing events and using textile crafts as a tool to connect with people.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
