We´re almost in February and I know it wouldn´t be appropriate to post any kind of “Happy New Year” – messages anymore. Instead, I wanted to send You – my Clients, Social Media Followers, Company Partners and Everyone who took part in Willow visuals´s journey – a big THANK YOU for 2018! It must sound like a broken record, but I am so glad to see that my work resonates with You! Thank you for coming along with me! Now that I´ve had a little bit of time to reflect on the past 12 months, I thought I´d sit down and write about it. In 2018 I designed lots of lovely stationery… Keep Reading

For a while we´ve been thinking about moving to a new home, so let´s put it this way, the word “change” has popped up very often in our talks nowadays.

Willow visuals is…
People often ask me where did the name “Willow visuals” come from? It´s very simple actually, but it needs a little bit of explanation. For a very long time, I had been contemplating taking a turn in my career. I studied business and I have been working for companies for some time, but in the past years I realised that I wanted to do something more creative. Art (especially photography and illustration) has always been my passion. Besides working, I took art and photo classes that I really-really enjoyed, so little by little the idea of changing my career path towards photography and design felt like the right thing to… Keep Reading
