Sandra lives with her husband and toddler daughter in Finland, on the countryside close by the sea. Nature is a big inspiration for her, as are beautiful color combinations and simplistic and playful Scandinavian design. Sandra has always been creative and crafty, and when she discovered surface pattern design as a career option, she decided it was time to make dreams a reality and make a career switch from translator to creative entrepreneur. Her brand name Little Forest Atelier stems from a time when she was still living in a big city and dreaming of her own creative atelier close to nature, something that has now become reality.
