To be able to stay in a place like this for a period in life is rare. I can't imagine a better, more inspiring environment to study in. I have gained a fine knowledge of craftsmanship and materials during my year here, which I have really enjoyed in my current profession. 

These days I have the privilege of visiting Capellagården sometimes, and then I am struck by the simplicity, peacefulness and authenticity. I will carry Capellagården with me in my heart for the rest of my life both as a textile designer and as a person.

After Capella…

I studied at Konstfack's textile line, where I then went for 5 years. 

I am a co-owner and run Afroart together with 5 classmates from Konstfack. We collaborate with craftsmen around the world. Our competence as designers means that we can develop and adapt traditional crafts to the market and in this way make craft traditions live on. At the same time, important jobs are created. We are happy and proud to be able to present a diverse range of crafts from all corners of the world.

The business is divided into two stores in Stockholm, one in Gothenburg, a shop in shop in Åhléns city, web shop and a growing wholesale business with several retailers mainly in Sweden but also in Europe. 

My advice to future students?

Find something unique about how you want to express yourself and then drive, just drive in all shapes and sizes.
