Hi!

I'm Ola

I've always enjoyed tinkering with graphic design tools, and I still do. I love my two cats and a warm cup of oolong tea. I wish I could live at the end of the world, near a nice forest—a safe haven. An internet connection is a must since I am a bit of a gamer and a home hermit. However, I still like to travel and have a good laugh.

My Career

I studied both Graphic Design and English Philology simultaneously. For a while, I freelanced using both of my degrees. Subsequently, I worked as a project manager in both the translation industry and the professional training and coaching industry. Now, my interests lie in UX/UI Design.

Games

I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. I started with old game consoles and later transitioned to PC gaming. Everyone remembers Mario, but do you recall Prehistoric 2? Bomberman? Later, there was Rayman and Hexen. I played all of these in turn with... my parents :D. My all-time favorite economy game is Pharaoh. Thanks to my older cousin, I was introduced to Quake, which I absolutely loved. Playing with people became something I enjoy a lot. Occasionally, I indulge in Riot's League of Legends.

Interior design

It all started with a game. I haven't played The Sims extensively, but when I did, it was not for typical gameplay. I'm a 'builder' in The Sims, meaning I focus on constructing and decorating houses within the game. Interestingly, whenever I moved in real life, I would measure the apartment and use Adobe InDesign to plan the furniture layout. Later, I discovered Home by Me, a fantastic web app that allows you to create floor plans.

I enjoy finding flats and houses for sale or plans via Google, rearranging the layout, and making it my own. I particularly like tackling smaller spaces as they pose more challenges. I have to consider how every room will be used, what will be there, and how to maximize ergonomics.

I highly recommend the following YouTube channels about interior decoration and living:Living Big In A Tiny HouseNever Too SmallKirstenDirksen
