After I graduated I sent some drawings to the Somerset House in London which is a gallery that does a lot of fashion exhibitions. They had one about Isabella Blow and I had done drawings of her. They bought the drawings and used them for the merchandise for the exhibition. That gave me a lot of confidence. I thought ‘Hey, I can do this. This is cool.’

What do you love about doing illustration? I can look at things that inspire me or that I click with and create work around that. It gives you a lot of freedom.

What inspires you? In general it’s everyday life–when you talk to your friends, go out in London, go looking at shops. And just being free and not having to commit to anything really; when you feel like you have a free state of mind on a really deep level, I suppose.

I also take a lot of inspiration from Switzerland and Sweden where I grew up. My mom loves collecting furniture and we have a lot of old furniture from the family going back generations, so I’ve always been surrounded by a lot of old things, craft things. Definitely craft and detail and colors come into my work. I lived in Switzerland before I moved to London cause my mom moved there for work. All the buildings are really light and cream colored, pink. That filtered into what I associate with home. See less
