Post-graduation, Danish designer Peter Jensen recognized Catta's talent.

Catta's method is hands-on, she refines designs through actual cutting and fitting, not just conceptualizing.
On collaboration with Fabrique, Catta draws inspiration from "street scenes, art, architecture, textures, color combinations." She aims to dress confident, adaptable women using deep colors and bold silhouettes. Her ideal is a versatile wardrobe that evolves with life yet retains its essence. Catta's work balances function and aesthetics, crafting empowering pieces for women across various roles and settings.
