“I’ve always been creative in one way or another but then… life happened,” she admitted in an interview with Strangerless. “I wanted to study something creative but was convinced that to make a living it was a much better choice to study something else, something substantial. Although surely one could argue that Cultural Science, which I chose and concluded with a Master of Arts (sic!), wasn’t the best choice for earning money either.”

“I had a wound in my heart, yet I thought I understood that adult life was not supposed to be fun,” she said. “It was just supposed to work out and therefore you needed to compromise, work and be serious. Creativity was put aside and labeled as a childish wish.”

But her so cold “childish wish” kept festering in the back of her mind, and eventually, she took that leap of faith. Now she works as an illustrator, making both editorial illustrations and personalized commissioned work.

But she’s also dedicated to her personal artistic work. In a recent illustrated series, she documented her pregnancy journey, sharing the ins and out of being a young expecting mother. Take a look at some of the illustrations she shares on Instagram:

Naturally, her love for crafting began early on. “When I look back at my childhood I realize that my path in the craft and lifestyle world was pretty much set from the start,” she told Mom Filter. “I loved making things and was always hoarding cardboard and other materials for crafts, planning parties and decorating for holidays. I pored over every women’s or lifestyle magazine that my mom bought and made a series of tiny, strange fashion and food magazines.”

Her passion blossomed into a career when she landed a job in the Craft Department at Martha Stewart Living, working there for over 19 years. “I always loved creating crafts for kids and pushed for doing the kids magazine at Martha Stewart way before I had kids,” she recalls. “I do, however, think that the ideas that I came up with after becoming a parent, whether for kid’s crafts, birthday parties or recipes, were much much simpler!”
