In 2022 she was featured in the Vogue Scandinavia magazine. In 2020

In 2016 after changing big city life to countryside she found her unique
way of embroidering birds which began a whole career as a self
employed artist. The most popular hand embroidered jewellery from
that time was hen brooch - it was created in many different colour
combinations and in more than 200 copies.

combine Scandinavian graphics and realistic botanical embroidery.
