How do you usually introduce yourself when you don’t feel like explaining everything?
"I'm playful and endlessly curious, that’s the foundation of everything. The way I act, the way I dress, the way I draw.”
Was becoming an artist a decision, or something that just refused to leave you alone?
"It wasn't a conscious decision — it was always already inside me, and now it's simply blooming. Drawing is the one place where I can pour all my energy in and still come out feeling recharged. I never get enough of it. I just want to keep playing, keep dreaming. It's a necessity and an outlet all at once."
What’s your very favorite style from Becksöndergaard?
"Anyone who knows me knows I always have something on my head — a cap, a hat, a silk scarf. So the sun hat is without a doubt my favourite piece. It reminds me of my childhood, and it's perfect for warmer days by the sea. The red trim is what makes it complete — and it immediately inspired me to play with that same kind of detail in my own illustrations.”
Tell us about the pieces you’ve made
"The illustrations had to be a reflection of how I feel during summer here by the sea: sandy, playful, full of colour contrasts. Something I recognise in myself, but that others can feel too. A sense of longing and nostalgia. That summer feeling you always want to hold onto but never quite can.
If your creative process had a soundtrack, what would be playing while you made these pieces?
"Before I even started drawing I had already made a playlist to fully immerse myself in the vibe - so everything felt familiar before the first line was even drawn. Three songs that capture how it felt:
Sunny Day by Ciggy Sunday - a local band whose pianist is a very close friend of mine. But beyond that, it's just a dreamy song that feels like the sea to me.
Seaside by The Kooks - maybe not the most original answer, but it's a song I grew up with. Thank you mama.
You Get What You Give by New Radicals - this song was used in the animated film Surf's Up, and my dad once used it as the aftermovie song after a surf lesson when I was a kid. It always cheers me up. Even more now that I actually understand the lyrics.”
How would you describe the vibe of Becksöndergaard?
"Timeless. In 20 years this collection will still make me happy and people 20 years older than me too. Take the rattan bag: that's a piece that will always be stylish and full of character. That timelessness fascinates me and gets me thinking. It's also something I strive for in my own work, creating things that hold their value over time.”
Where do you go — physically or mentally — when you need to reset creatively?
"I go for a walk. I live beautifully, one minute from the sea, surrounded by lovely neighbourhoods full of green. Walking in silence or with a song, just looking around and observing. That's what recharges me creatively. It's also why I love discovering a new city every now and then. I think of it this way: if I bring a lot of output onto paper and iPad, I also need a lot of input from life, from people, nature and places.”
What surprised you about working with Becksöndergaard — something you didn’t expect at all?
"I'll be very honest here. This is my first collaboration with an international brand and it happened so spontaneously. That genuinely surprised me. How warm and natural the contact stayed, how everything just grew so effortlessly. I am so incredibly grateful. Not long ago I could only dream of this. Sharing my passion with others is one of my biggest motivations to keep creating.”
What does a day in your world actually look like when no one’s watching?
"This is what 90% of my days actually look like. I wake up around 8am and get up straight away - curtains open, glass of water. Then I crawl back into bed to write and do some breathing exercises, followed by a check-in on Headspace. Breakfast, cold shower. Then I tidy up because I let everything pile up during the day — oops. Then I start drawing until I realise I also need to eat. Lunch at home or at my favourite lunch spot, and then I always go for a little walk. More drawing in the afternoon. In the evening I cook for myself, search for new music for my second big passion
- DJing - and then I take another shower. Yes, twice a day, oops. Then I read on my e-reader until I fall asleep. That's what my days look like.”
If your story had a title right now, what would it be?
"Silly little girl with crazy big dreams. I love how those words contradict each other. That feels like me.”
What’s a question you wish I had asked you?
"Maybe: what makes you truly happy? It's a question I ask myself every week. And right now, it's people - the people I talk to, the people I meet, and the people I learn."
