All the products I design have a story behind them. Some longer than others and some more important. That goes also with client work. I think there should always be the story, the reason, the why before anything is designed, established or branded.
My stories come from who I am and how I see the world. I’m a curious person. I love to hear stories, listen music, watch movies, read, observe, find out about human behaviour. Life in general is so exciting, always evolving and especially always surprising. I’m fascinated by everyday life that keeps changing and all those precious moments I want to remember.
What makes me happy are the people around me. All those feelings, support, sharing, spending time with, kind (and not so kind) words said to each other. And from those words and stories comes most of my design too. As a tribute to all of those people I’m so honoured to have in my life, I made this And I love you print. It comes both in A3 sized art print and as a smaller greeting card.
It’s also a reminder of all that love there is to give and receive for us all. Sometimes we are just so busy that we forget it. And in the end, love is the only thing that really matters. In design and in life.

Let me introduce you to the Miracle Lines. These babies fresh from the printing company include several motivational quotes and some questions to guide you towards your dream life.
I’ve spent so many hours on social media both for fun and for work. There have also been those moments when I felt like trapped inside my phone trying to manage several accounts 24/7 without a proper plan or efficient workflow. That’s how Social Media Mondays got started. To make it more efficient, I started …
This is what I wrote on my morning pages today. I want to write more. I should have a channel to publish it. Keeping a blog seems a bit old-fashioned or fake. On the other hand, I feel intrigued to change the format of this blog back to the old school one where you can …
And I love you
