My greatest fashion icon: Anni, the little sister of a friend of mine, and Liisa, the big sister of my son’s classmate who considers a 60 year-old professor as her style icon.
The most important thing to remember when decorating a room: I don’t decorate. I let decorate.
My most important mentor: My husband and a couple of my colleagues. We are each other’s mentors.
My creative philosophy: I follow my intuition.
Marimekko and me: I feel close to Marimekko. It brings people together in different stages of life.
I wish: I wish for those days when someone asks how you are doing and you can just respond “fine.” Then everything actually is fine.
My favorite scent: The scent of my kids’ scalps.
My first job ever: Working in the forest. Planting, clearing and helping out.
My favorite escape: Summer holidays in Köyliö and trips to the flea market on Saturdays.
I relax: When I sew and in the kitchen.
If I were not working as a designer, I would... I enjoy writing. So maybe something related to that.
