I’m Sophie Graumann, the person behind Sofy G Studio, where I focus on handmade garments and floral design. During my Biotechnology studies in Ireland, I developed an interest in second-hand fashion and started selling pieces on Depop. The clothing I could find never fully matched my imagination, so I taught myself to sew — initially as a way to stay sane during the pandemic. Over time, through pattern-making books, YouTube tutorials, and plenty of trial and error, I learned proper techniques. Years of practice and selling my pieces online gave me a strong understanding of sizing, fit, comfort, and translating ideas into physical forms.
When I moved to the Netherlands, I discovered a deep love for flowers. With no formal training, I taught myself to create arrangements, often sourcing blooms from multiple shops (and occasionally from the streets). It became clear that floral design, like clothing, was a way for me to combine creativity with hands-on craftsmanship.
Moving to Berlin brought everything together. The combination of electronic music and sobriety inspired a series of clothing pieces designed for the dancefloor. The city’s creative community has pushed me to take my work further — sharing garments and florals, experimenting, learning, and growing, all while connecting with people who support and inspire my work.
