"I have crocheted and knitted since childhood, but became a dedicated crocheter in 2010 while expecting my first child. I always design with function in mind – how a garment fits, feels and is actually used – creating everything from clothing and accessories to homewares, preferably in natural fibres. For me, crochet should not only look beautiful, but also be practical, wearable, and designed to fit naturally into people’s wardrobes and daily life.

I have published more than 50 patterns, mainly garments, both independently and for yarn brands and magazines including Laine Publishing and Järbo, and I regularly teach workshops and courses across Sweden.

Through my designs, I hope to open more people’s eyes to the world of contemporary crochet, far beyond granny squares and doilies. I aim to showcase the versatility and untapped potential of the craft, and to demonstrate just how modern crochet can look.

Alongside my creative work, I work in data analytics in the tech industry. I live in Stockholm, Sweden with my husband, three kids and a dog."
