The author of the Easter e-Book and creator of DK Design Kitchens new visual identity is the Danish Graphic Designer Kristine Lindbjerg. She has lived in Sydney, Australia, for the past 13 years with her husband and two sons.
She divides her time between working and living in the city and spending most weekends and holidays in the countryside at Turon Gates. She thrives in nature as it is where she refuels and gets inspired, but at the same time, she adores the buzz of the city and the amazing window decorations created by international brands in the city stores. She likes her life of contrasts: being in the garden in gumboots and dressing up with feathers for a party.
Being Danish, EASTER comes with a lot of beautiful traditions. It’s very important for her to pass these traditions on from her grandparents and parents to the next generation.
