I was born in Sweden, surrounded by a culture that values quality and craftsmanship. My life has been a journey — travelling the world to learn, gather inspiration, and collect stories. I spent years in Byron Bay, running a small shop on the beach, before moving to Geraldton, Western Australia where the wild ocean and rugged coast now shape my work.

Everything I make begins with colour, texture and imagery. Yarns and textiles all have their own story to tell; I lift up their uniqueness and enhance their worth by combining colors with textures. Natural materials have soul and longevity. I especially love using textiles that have already lived a previous life. I call them rescued textiles and yarns. I use zero waste principles and always invent new ways to use up any unavoidable waste during the creative process.

My rescued textiles and yarns are given new life— sometimes combining them in unexpected ways, often adding hand-stitched details or patchwork to celebrate their imperfections. I work slowly, allowing the textiles and yarns to guide the design, creating something that cannot be rushed or replicated. Weaving my own cloth brings another layer to my creative journey. 

Every item I make is unique. There is no mass production here — just me, my hands, and the materials in front of me. When you own one of my pieces, you carry its story forward. It becomes a part of your life, and your story becomes a part of it.
