This year I decided to take part in global #the100dayproject again. After last year’s hand-painted watercolour Daily Moods I am going all digital this time. I got myself an iPad Pro and pencil a couple of weeks ago and have already done my first baby steps on it and have even already sold a pattern… Read More
As some of you might know, besides being a textile designer I am also a yoga teacher. When I first heard the word ‘Athleisure’ at a WGSN trend seminar I was about to jump up and shout “That’s me!”. I wear leggings and some kind of dress/tunic all day long as I transition between yoga… Read More
Unfortunately like a lot of designers I can’t show you the majority of design work I am doing at the moment as most of it is for my agency and clients’ work. So I am quite happy when there is something that I can actually show. Like for Patternmash’s latest project called Le Freak for… Read More
Today I am very happy to introduce the Australian children’s clothing brand Sacred Ibis to you. But first, I have a little personal story to share how we got to know each other. In summer 2014 our family travelled around Thailand. On the little paradise-like island of Koh Tao we met Carly Jordan and her… Read More
Call it Philodendron, Monstera, Split Leaf or Swiss cheese plant – I simply can’t get enough of this tropical plant. And I was happy seeing them during our holiday on Lanzarote abound. I photographed them, I drew them, I painted them – and turned them into patterns, of course. These patterns are now available for… Read More
It was wonderful. Spending two weeks around Christmas and New Year on the Canary island of Lanzarote, enjoying mild spring-like temperatures, sunshine and a volcanic landscapes like out-of-this-world. We visited caves, little idyllic towns and villages, a cacti garden and beaches. I relished all the views and the beautiful flora. And I painted my Travel… Read More
Here we are, on the last day of the year, and my 12-collections-in-2016-project is coming to its end. We are taking a sunny (and windy!) break from winter in Northern Germany on the Canary island of Lanzarote over the Christmas and New Year season. I am rounding up my design-project with my third Patternmash-live-brief-inspired-collection in… Read More
My November Collection begins where my October Collection ended – at the ‘Botanicactus Garden’ in Mallorca. And it is another collection designed to a Patternmash live brief, called Defence Mechanism. The special thing about this brief was, that it was a weekend brief in contrast to the usual month-long-projects. When I got the brief for… Read More
My travel moods are back! Our family spent the last two weeks on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca and that was just the energy lift my body, mind and Daily Moods needed. As you might have read previously on my blog, my Daily Moods started as a 100-day-project in April and have since then evolved… Read More
While I have escaped autumn for a fortnight soaking up the sun and mediterranean beauty on the island of Mallorca, this month’s collection ‘Prairie Flora’ heavily focuses on the autumn and winter season. I have signed up for a couple of projects with Patternmash and the first one was a theme called Praerielands for AW… Read More
