BEGINNINGS
"I started designing repeat patterns in 2018 when I was waiting for my first daughter to fall asleep at night. We used to sit at her bedroom door when she was a toddler, and I would read or draw until she fell asleep!"
MOTIVATION
"In late 2022 I began Karina+Kind with a focus on bright collage style florals which seems to be my main style and I’ve been motivated ever since because its like Art Therapy for me. During my third pregnancy I was very aware that post-natal depression was very real for me so Karina+Kind kept me going."
INSPIRATION
"I don't have a degree in arts or design! I grew up in a small country town with the beach and the forest and a farm with cows where I loved to explore. I was also lucky enough to live in the countryside of Norway in 2009 in a small place called Hvalstad with storybook fields, lakes and forest walks and all the Scandinavian design I saw really influenced me too."
