I am very happy to show you three designs of mine that became products by American gymnastics activewear brand Plum Practicewear in 2018. ‘Icebreaker’ became part of their winter collection, ‘Waikiki’ was in their summer Coastal Craze collection and ‘Jubilee’ turned out to be a tropical bestseller from their Back to School collection.
It’s been already three weeks since we came back from our three weeks of travelling in Cuba. And now that everything is unpacked, the photos are downloaded, the stories have been told dozens of times and the whole travel experience has become categorized in my brain and body it is time to show some impressions… 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
On International Women’s Day (unintentionally) last year Doris Reske and started our first Co-Lab experiment and this weekend we painted together for the 12th time. Over the course of the year we have painted in her studio (a lot!), in the sunshine in my garden, together with little painters and just by ourselves. We had… Read More

I am a bit late to the October party, I just realized yesterday. So here is Clara’s calendar page: And it fits so perfectly, being right in the middle of the mushroom season and with the mushroom pattern I created recently. We have had a beautiful autumn so far, with lots of bright sunshine (but… Read More
It is mostly my sketchbook I go to for drawing and painting these September days. And the total vegan foodie that I am, I love drawing all the good things that are in season right now. And then eating them. This is quite a challenge for me, especially with figs, that are one of my… Read More
I must admit, I was quite resistant to turn Clara’s calendar yesterday morning, as it meant the official ending of my favourite season of the year. And summer gave us a nearly tropical day and evening on August 31 as a farewell gift, so waking up to rain and dropped temperatures on September 1 felt… Read More
I brought my sketchbook home brimming with sketches and the feeling of fun I had while drawing them. Nearly all of its hundred pages filled up with memories and the big and little things I saw and put to paper on our Thailand trip. Things, that a camera can’t capture this way. Mostly little things,… Read More
