Projects
- Yoga mats Design for Gryta SanseriI was fortunate to be commissioned to design Yoga mats, it was fun as this was different from the other projects I did at the time. We tried out several ideas that both I and Gry had in mind, though the idea was to create a mat that looked like Marble as it was very popular at the time, so that is what we ended up with. I created a few different versions and color for it, ending up with Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple. It can be brought at https://www.grytasanseri.no/ Also follow her on: h
