“Art evokes the mystery without which the world would not exist… ”
Every creation being an artwork, fashion design item or graphic print is of no use unless it has a great meaning. We used to have classes in university when we will start off a design process by creating our own story. It is honestly a great idea, which allows you no limits to use your imagination. A story helps us think of a setting, provokes feelings, emotions and expression of yourself. That’s why I consider it to be a great base for an artwork.

I don’t have a particular style that I follow or ever aimed at creating. On the other hand often I would hear from people that I am using this “Kristin” style… which I guess relates to how I create my drawings. Most of them always involve hand-drawing, elements of artistic shades, hatches, watercolour. This comes from my arts background. As a designer I think the process of creativity comes with practice and a huge “be brave ” concept. I am a believer that each piece of art.. being a logo, graphic design, novel, events render or interior should relate to its main story and should have a really strong message for the audience. So often my design concepts come from asking myself:
What I want to express?
What I want to show?
How I can be different?
Then I allow myself to draw not according to any format, but following my artistic view. Well most of the time this will work only for free time projects/ art weekend visuals etc. But it is indeed a start!

I often get the question of what is my inspiration and how I create my finished renders. My answer always starts with art. I challenge myself to think differently and be creative and unique in every design I create. Starting with hand drawing my concepts are inspired by the most innovative artists such as Es Devlin, Olafur Eliasson, Cj Hendry. Inspiration is everywhere around us. Sometimes a single though, movie or book can inspire me to create a work of art. When it comes to the design process I make sure I select a few elements that become the major detail of my design.
