I have always dreamt about doing a PhD, and as I found Anthropology while studying textiles at FIT in New York, I started working towards its realization. Quite far from the pulse of Manhattan and my textiles studies, my PhD project is set in Puglia, Italy. It concerns the ancient landsape of olive culture and explores situated traditions, flows, and the craftsmanship of making olive oil.

I found home in Puglia, so I decided to jump on the feeling, sell the apartment in Stockholm and buy a house here in the heel of Italy. Back in 2021, when my husband and I started renovating, the house was not much more than four walls but is now our dream home. We have yet some work to do with the garden, but as the Salentini we have become, we’re taking it piano piano.

When I first learned about Human Design, I was amazed by the accuracy and informational facets of my own reading. As the inquisitive explorer I am, I took two courses to expand my knowledge, whereby I became a HD reader. Curious to get deepened insights into your unique set-up?
