I created different kinds of grid systems and set myself rules and restrictions to work within. at the time I wasn’t even aware that illustration existed as a profession, or that these images could be applied to something commercial.

I was fascinated by the grid and it felt really natural to me. I started experimenting with other things than patterns, like drawing people and objects, and then moved on to typography and made typefaces with the same method. at that point I realised that I had found my language.
