Having guided both beginners and professionals through their projects, I noticed recurring struggles in the realization of their ideas. I knew that a digital holistic solution that could cater to each unique person, would be able to help DIY'ers across the globe. With the encouragement of my family and friends, PatternAdventure was born.

In the winter of 1999, my young family and I arrived in Finland. Though it seemed dark and cold at first, we were quick to discover the excitement that could be found in the northern winter. Half a year later, the endlessly long summer days enticed us to spend every possible moment outside. It was precisely this extremity in weather conditions that taught me over the years the best way to dress in different seasons and for a diversity of activities. This is how my love for outdoor patterns began.
