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.

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
Design Summer School 2016
It is this time of year again – the design summer school with Make it in Design.

You can find my… Read More
My Moods Movie
Last Sunday was the last day of my summer vacation and totally incidentally also the last day of my 100-day-project. Some say it takes 21 days to form a new habit, others say 28 or 66 days. So 100 days are plenty! I started on April 27 2016 and painted my 100 days all through… Read More
