In 2020, Monique began designing and creating products using laser cutting techniques. Since then, she has continued to develop her skills. In January 2022, she ventured into entrepreneurship by launching her jewelry brand, Lascessories. As her interest in art persisted, she recently decided to rebrand as Studio Mo and shift her focus.

For her work, she employs laser cutting, a technique that allows her to work graphically while producing high-quality products. Laser cutting also offers possibilities that are nearly impossible to achieve by hand, both in terms of form and finish. All components are carefully hand-finished and meticulously assembled.

In her designs, she takes production methods into account and sees it as a challenge to create unique products by overlapping cut lines as much as possible, without compromising the design. This approach not only maximizes material efficiency and minimizes waste, but also fosters a new way of seeing and designing, leading to fresh possibilities and distinctive works.

Through her designs, she aims to stand out. She strives to create art that resonates with the viewer — whether through recognition, evoking memories, or surprising with design, complexity, or material use.
