London / Bakery

Fortitude Bakehouse, a craft bakery, hidden away on a quiet mews in Bloomsbury.

Brighton / Pub

I always feel I'm in a bar in European city when I come here, its cavernous but comforting at the same time. The pub is located right by London Road Station and is one of the few places I've found in Brighton that serves Murphys Irish stout and great cheesy chips.

New York / Studio Spaces

XXXI (‘Thirty-One’) is ❶ a mixed-use community space for designers (and others) to exhibit, teach, and discuss self-initiated work; ❷ a shared studio space; ❸ a residency for designers; and ❹ an online (and sometimes physical) store. It purposefully lives outside (or against) the constraints of the city it exists in and traditional commercial practice to ask what design can do when its goal is not money.

New York / Transport

Coming back from from New Haven, we got off at Grand Central and he took me down one of the concourses to the place with the vaulted ceiling. He stood at one corner and I stood at another and we whispered into the walls, our voices drifting across to each other.

London / Park

Need some clean air or just a time-out? Kew Gardens is a short train ride away from the city centre but is provides you with space, greenery and and a small holiday for the lungs. The garden contain tropical glasshouses and interesting architecture, so it is a treat for both body and mind.

San Francisco / Place

Murals! where? everywhere! walls, streets, signs, windows. keep your eyes peeled. I walk a lot in San Francisco and always seem to find new murals in the least expected places. They are a constant source of inspiration, and make me wish I could paint worth a damn.

Tokyo / Museum

Contemporary art museum of Tokyo. I had the chance to attend to 3 cool exhibitions. Huge rooms, nice scenography, good sound (saw Dumb Type collective/Ryoji Ikeda installations). Good restaurant too!

Copenhagen / Bookstore

Contemporary art museum

Moscow / Cafe

Enjoy gourmet cuisine surrounded by contemporary art in Garage Café, the perfect place to unwind after visiting an exhibition or taking a stroll in Gorky Park. The Café’s relaxed atmosphere is the perfect place for doing work or meeting with friends, while dining on innovative dishes. The menu is updated each season and offers an array of delicious, fresh food, including a large selection of desserts and a kids’ menu, as well as specialty coffees and teas.

Berlin / Cafe

Just an amazing cup of cappuccino. Try the Franzbrötchen with it for a basic breakfast. It's a place for someone who appreciates good coffee done with extreme care.

Los Angeles / Studio Spaces

Really fun to walk around the studios

London / Restaurant

My favourite no-frills Malaysian restaurant and takeaway hidden away in a basement. Expect to queues for up to 30–40min, but well worth the wait.

Kristine is an independent visualise designer. She has an insatiable passion and a fondness for visual communication, social observation, typography, colours grammar, and concept-driven projects. Mainly works on all kind of from conception to completion such as editorial, printing, publication, book art, all printed matter, concept development, UI design and art direction. She believes good design comes from unlimited questioning, challenging convention and creating and collecting innovative methods to solve visual tasks into an unique ways. The process is often based on a strong idea or a fundamental concept which exploited to the maximum with no preconceptions. To emphasis that it is concept-driven design; the form is often learning towards anti-esthetics. It is a paradox that this actually is an esthestic in itself. She is especially interested in concept-based project and investigating the interdisciplinary design methodologies into visual grammar.
