VISUAL JOURNAL / lately on instagram

 

What happened the first 4 months of this year? Can't believe it's May already.

> I went skiing for the first time in my life.... I loved it, (the fresh air, blue skies and winter sun in Italy were amazing!) but have also been pretty scared going down those steep slopes... thank god my boyfriend (who went snowboarding) was a great teacher!

>  I live close to the beach and often go for a quick coffee or sometimes even bring my laptop to work there. I do not have a garden so use the beach instead. 

> Ate a lot of ice cream.

> Bought some new nice magazines to use for inspiration and making collages.

> Worked a LOT. Probably a bit too much. Also bought too many shoes ;)

DAILY SKETCHBOOK / pastel coral

All you need is some magazines, paper, pencils, scissor and some glue. 

VISUAL JOURNAL / lately

Once in a while I take my camera out and go on a walk. I take pictures of whatever gets my attention when I see a beautiful color, shape or pattern. These are my biggest source of inspiration when I start designing patterns. There's so much beauty to find when taking a closer look! I update my tumblr regularly, you can visit my visual journal if you like!

COLOR / pastel and grey

One of my pictures turned into a nice color group, might use these colors for a pattern collection. 

JOURNAL / august

Here's what happened on Instagram last month:

// A great publication about our product design 'drop' lamp in the Dutch Interior Magazine VTWonen. Very happy with that :) 

// A lot of drawing at home

// Taking pictures in the streets, to update my Visual Journal.

// Coffee and notebooks, can't make to-do-lists without a decent cappuccino.
