3 new things I learned in 2019
At the beginning of 2020 I took some moments to look back at last year and realised what a year it has been in terms of learning. Besides my usual hustle-and-bustle of designing prints and patterns, I made sure to try new things. And it wasn’t really that I had to make sure – the… Read More
Albania Sketchbook
Hello from Tirana, the capital of the country the Albanians themselves call Shqipëria! We are starting our summer trip around the country in this laid-back and more-modern-than-one-would-think city and get a first taste of the feel, food, people – and scenery. This quick sketch is from our funicular ride up the Dajti Mountain with spectacular… Read More
#the100dayproject 2018 Days 51-100
I really had fun with this year’s project! And I really made a page every day. I loved seeing nature further unfold in May and June for the second part of the project and tried a couple of new techniques. Hand painted watercolour was my go-to-technique, but I also tried tighter illustration styles and some… Read More
Licensed Tropical Design for The Planner Society
I have the privilege of being used to seeing my designs on apparel and activewear (even though that great feeling never gets old), but seeing a design on stationary was a first-timer for me. The Planner Society licensed my banana leaves print for their ‘Palm Springs Kit’. I love this whole tropical-plants-on-green-vibe! And isn’t cute seeing… Read More

Print Collaboration with Happycloth
Happycloth is a recently launched Greek company producing top-quality handmade silk scarves. I coudn’t be more proud when I found out that they chose 12 designs out of 45,000 textile patterns, and two of them were mine, ‘Leopink’ and ‘Ditsy’. What makes them furthermore special is that the company decided to sell each scarf with… Read More
#the100dayproject 2017 100/100!!!
After taking a summer pause due to travelling and summer holidays I loved coming back to my #the100dayproject and creating the last patterns. You can still see the tropical influence from my trip to Cuba and then the change of seasons from summer to early autumn (falling colourful leaves, spider webs, grey rainy days). I… Read More
New Licensed Designs for FLEO
I am excited that two fresh activewear designs of mine were licenced and released on FLEO shorts in June and July. That makes four this year and I think there is even more to come. I like how diverse my designs are, they started out as textures painted with watercolour, photographs or even doodling on… Read More
#the100dayproject, days 37-81
That’s another 45 new patterns. all created on the iPad Pro: The muse does show up, every single day! That’s what one the things I have learned during this time. I have to be dedicated also and make the time and effort to sit down and start creating. And usually one idea (sometimes just a… Read More
