What if you designed your life the way you design everything else?
For 6-8 weeks I'm moving through 13 cities, running Design Days and workshops along the way, to find where I actually want to live. Join me for the ride.
I've spent years designing businesses for other people to fit the life they wanted. It's time to do the same for myself.
I know my future includes a home somewhere with a Christmas market and snowey holidays. I just don't know yet where. So I'm giving myself 6-8 weeks and 13 cities to explore and find out.
My studio keeps running the whole way through. Along the route: Design Days, a handful of live workshops, and a weekly podcast episode on what it takes to build a business around your life… not the other way around.

→ If you have a space for work or study
Coffee shops, coworkings & universities: give me a desk for the day while I work on a client project, and I'll create content featuring your space.

Sponsor me as I stay in your city, and I'll show what is it like to use your services

Design Days
A podcast about people who designed their lives against the default — the freelancers, founders and creatives who built something that looked nothing like the plan they were handed. A new episode every week, recorded from wherever the route takes me: the city, the Design Day, the person I met, the lesson underneath it.
about me
I'm a brand and web designer helping independent businesses communicate what makes them different.
I've lived across different countries, built businesses remotely and spent years working with entrepreneurs who want more freedom from the traditional way of working.
Now I'm taking that philosophy on the road.
Designing My Way Across Europe is an experiment in building a business, exploring a continent and creating a life intentionally — all at the same time.
And I'm inviting other people to be part of it.
let's talk
Wherever you are on the route, let's talk.
Want to book a Design Day, sponsor a workshop or a stay, invite me to your city or community, or just point me toward someone I should meet? Either way, I'm one train stop away.
