ABOUT

I am a textile designer with a BA degree in textile design from
DESIGN SCHOOL KOLDING, Denmark, in 2018. I am currently living in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Business owner of By Regina Piil, where I do my own design products and design freelance for other companies.

Owner of www.MINN.dk
- home and interior design -
specialising in ORGANIC CUSHIONS in high quality wool and leather

I highly value colour aesthetics, tactility and structures in textile design and techniques. I am skilled in printing techniques, analoque weaving, hand knitting and embroidery.

In print design development I often use different drawing techniques as a tool for later digital development.

I often use creative research to develop conceptualised design collections.
