Alright friends, grab your tea (or coffee, no judging), and let’s get this summary going! 5 Things in April 1. I went to a Pecha Kucha presentation and was especially inspired by the amazing tiny houses by Vera van Wolferen 2.

Oh, Hello Spring!
Kopi has been asleep on my legs for the past two hours, so while I should really be asleep I am instead awake writing this.

Not Being Afraid and Being Alive
While biking home this week I’ve been thinking quite a lot about the bombings in Brussels. Having been there only two weeks earlier, and living only a few hours away, it feels strangely unreal and close.

I have yet to go to a music festival, but during the last few years I’ve really started to like light festivals. Growing up in… Continue reading Light at Night
The Return of the Blog
Back in 2007, my brother started a website for me and said: “Hey, here’s your blog! Write something.” This site has changed purpose and looks numerous times since then, but lately it’s been blog-less. Let’s change that. My name’s Saga and I’m a Swede, currently working as an interaction designer in Amsterdam. I like doodling characters and… Continue reading The Return of the Blog
