A collaboration with Memery Shoes

Hi everyone, hope you have a wonderful week. I would like to tell you about a very special collaboration I have had the honour to be a part of!

A few years back, I came across a beautiful historical shoe brand called Memery. The brand was created by a very lovely talented lady named Mette Emery; it produces the most beautiful (and comfy!) replicas of actual historical shoes.

About a month ago, I and Mette decided to collaborate and create a unique postcard which represents Mette's brand. You can probably imagine my excitement. Bringing this project to life was absolutely thrilling!

At first, we developed some ideas and sketches. We decided to go with an illustration of the Ruth boots- one of Mette's most popular designs (and my forever favourite).

I felt like the materials I choose have to convey the magical aesthetic of the brand, therefore, I decided to go with materials that have vintage qualities; such as watercolours, paper scraps & dried flowers- a decision which I'm very happy about.

I used a colleague-making technique to provide the piece with a special 3D look.

After a lot of work, the illustration was finally ready!

In a short while, this illustration will be printed and turned into postcards which will be added to Memery's lovely packages. So if you are planning to order a pair of Memery, look out for a little token in your boxes!

Working on a new profile pic! + Time-lapse video

Hi folks! As most of you probably noticed, I created a new profile picture for my Insta. I wanted to share with you a little about the process of designing and makin this illustration.

I knew this illustration has to represent my inspiration, personality and visual taste. Therefore, it had to be historically inspired!

The first design was inspired by the 1900s, however, I felt like the final result didn’t reflect myself or my business… After much thought, I made a new sketch; this time, one that has a 1890’s-Green-Gables aesthetic. I’m happy I made this decision, as the new sketch simply felt RIGHT.

Then, I started working on the digital version. I chose a colour palette which connects to my inspiratio- natural earthy tones.

To sum up, my new profile pic immediately became one of my favourite pieces in my portfolio. I‘m extremely satisfied with the final result!

Below is a time-lapse recording of the process, hope you enjoy watching!

Coming Soon- Food illustration commissions

Hi everyone, hope you are doing well!

The past couple of months were busy, as I've been illustrating a very special children's book. However, now that this project is nearly finished (more about this to come very soon!), I found some time to update my Fiverr e-shop and offer new and exciting commission services.

Quite recently, I have been drawn to the field of food-art; I started creating my own illustrations of pastries, beverages, and so on... which I decided to offer to you!

I'm sure that the delicate cottage-core aesthetic of my new food-illustrations will be the perfect decorative element for your food blog, cafe, bakery, etc.

Commissions will open on the upcoming Monday through Fiverr:
