Her breakthrough came with the cover art for the 2006 release Under The Iron Sea by the britband Keane (btw, what happened to their good taste when choosing artwork for their new album?) The artwork she created almost got as much attention as the album itself and put her in the spotlight of the design community. Traditional patterns which remind me of those Russian dolls you can stack into each other make for a very clean and Ikea-esque style (I remember her saying in an interview she’d turn down offers by Ikea because she hates corporate stuff – anyone know which interview this was?). She’s recently created some designs for Marimekko which are gathering quite a following. I wouldn’t mind putting the large prints (see end of post) up on my wall, would you?
