I work best when: Between 10 pm and 4 am, and in bed just before falling asleep.
My greatest design influence: All of my experiences.
The Marimekko product I use all the time: A fabric covered notebook.
My first memory of Marimekko: I made a dress with Maija Isola’s "Kivet"-fabric when I was studying in Japan.
When I travel I always take: A pair of comfortable shoes.
The pattern I'm most fascinated with right now: Very cute prints in sophisticated colors.
My favorite escape: Reading Japanese novels.
If I were not working as a designer, I would be... still trying to be a fashion designer. Because I might get a chance if I stay creative!
