My Custom Header by EmmaKisstina


I don't think words can truly express how in love & blown away I am with my new blog header by Kristina Hultkrantz of EmmaKisstina! We worked on this header together for over a month. A very exciting month, I must say! By the way, Kristina is in Stockholm, Sweden - so we worked on this project solely through email.  I wanted to share with you the process of how this header came about.

It all started with inspiration boards. I simply put together three boards that I felt really described me & showed my personal style.


From the inspiration boards above - Kristina hit me back with this very rough sketch.


The moment I saw these sketches I knew exactly what direction I wanted to go in. It was really important that my true personality & aesthetic showed as well as my love for shopping, fashion & all things NYC! And from that, came this!


Next came the colors & the sprucing up!
And I am sure you can guess what that turned into.... 



I love my header so much that I had Kristina turn it into a print. That way I can hang it over my desk and look at it all the time. Kristina is a creative genius filled with incredible talent & an absolute pleasure to work with. If any of you are looking for a custom headers or prints, Kristina is your girl!
