I’m Sonja, the brain and the heart behind this little piece of the creative universe.
I specialize in creating intuitive stationery sets and brand identities that resonate with the target audience. My analytical brain and my artistic heart may not always get along in life situations, but they work together perfectly when they are faced with an exciting design challenge.
Collaborating with major US and European B2C and POD companies made me highly skilled in creating stunning designs that captivate customers. I understand market trends and consumer preferences, so I always want to ensure that my designs stand out in the competitive industry.
When you browse through my work, words like delicate, feminine, calm, and nostalgic might pop up in your mind. It's because every piece I design comes from a place of deep understanding and passion for what I do. My brain loves structure and strives for perfection, while my heart is a total emotional wreck that needs to find meaning in every little thing.
