Finally updated my portfolio today.

Rainy day requires emergency chocolate.

Launched Nikewomen.com last week, through AKQA, my role: Design.

Been crazy busy at work lately, which I love. Got a lot of responsibilities when my CD flew off to the states and left me in charge of the creative. It’s been so much fun and I’m very happy with my role on NW. After a busy week I had a perfect weekend. Woke up early Saturday and went for a run in an actually sunny London, awesomeness with Lazer Sword in my headphones. Lazy afternoon with BBQ and wine. Spent Sunday like every other married couple going to the flower market and trying to plant the flowers in the garden between the rain and the more rain.

I’ve been, together with 25 other designers, selected to be presented in an online exhibition for USA BY DESIGNERS, HUG United. More info will come shortly, for now, I’m happy.

Jacob visited me from SF last weekend and we had sucha great time, too much catching up to do, loads of Sushi, Soho night out, and then he left again for South africa. Really wished he stayed for a little bit longer. Keke finally moved into the flat, and Tilly cat as well, which is making me less angry and more happy! Other than that, I’m totally covered in work and I like it. Also very excited over the upcoming weekends Rooftop photo shoot with Dan and Ivan Nunez.

Latest work, Art direction/design and html/xml development. Got the brief from a small start up hotel to create their website, with the desire to inspire to spend a night or two on the Swedish country side. To experience the personality and uniqueness of both the hotel and its surrounding.

The cold in London is almost Swedish right now, and even if I rather spent all day under my duvet, I’d decide to take a inspirational field trip down Camden Market. In need of creative ideas for my latest freelance gig as well as warm socks, and I found both. Now back to my comfi workstation (my bed) for another weekend of work.

Been having a couple of good creative days this week, got tons of work done and pretty damn cute company by these kittens. And yes I tried to steal them with me home, of course, just suck that I didn’t succeeded. Give me!
