She studied at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Art) from 1895 to 1904, where she was mentored by Josef Hoffmann. Her work, which spanned ceramics, glassware, jewelry, lighting, and furniture, was exhibited at Vienna Secessionist exhibitions and international expositions, including the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900, where her designs were displayed in a room designed by Hoffmann.

Highly regarded in her time, her creations were featured in influential publications such as Das Interieur, Wiener Mode, and Dokumente der Frauen, with journalists like Berta Zuckerkandl praising her contributions. She also collaborated with the renowned Viennese firm E. Bakalowits & Söhne, producing elegant glassware in the Art Nouveau and Secessionist styles.
