I put the joy back into being creative.
Hi, My name is Krister.
I’m a Creativity Coach & Counsellor. I put the joy back into being creative - to stem the flow of designers taking themselves home and even to hospital with burnouts and heart attacks.
I’m passionate about growing people and Business. I love counselling and have over 15 years international Design Thinking experience as:
An Industrial designer of interactive museum exhibitions, immersive educational digital playgrounds, creativity labs, emerging technologies and educational designs for young children, teenagers and families.
UX Service Designer & Product Strategist in corporate, government and startup Digital Transformation projects in Museums, Arts & Culture, Education, Smart Cities, Aviation, Finance and Loyalty Programs sectors.

This blog tracks my path of return to working creatively with true intuition - the way I enjoyed doing it as a child.
True intuition is using our innate fine sensitivity to register what we’re feeling in the body and what we’ve observed is going on around us, and to act on impulses we felt. I show how easy it is to do this by using my fine sensitivity when I work with my hands crafting beautiful designs using sketching and working with materials like paper.
Why I show the crafting process is because it fundamentally relates to work.I’ve found that once I practiced registering my sensitivity with something as simple as sensing what shapes and colours feel true to apply next on a project I’m working on, it’s possible and even compelling then to see how I can apply it to all other areas of work. In saying “yes” to that, I’m starting a journey of committing more to work and then all other areas of life too. Soon, everything becomes work. The realisations and transformations in me and people around me have been profound to observe from simply saying “yes” to more in life; and it all comes back to simply feeling - feeling my body, the people and space around me, the materials I touch, the shapes and colours I work with, and what’s next to do - saying yes to it as much as I can handle. And when I reach a point I can’t (seemingly) handle, then there’s more to rise up to, to say “yes” to. You could see it as a process of reclamation, reclaiming the amazing joy bomb, deeply tender, delicate, sensitive, creative man I already was as kid. A man who is an absolute powerhouse when offered to do work.
A key strength of mine is being transparent in the details about how I live life to make it practical. I relate to what I observe humanity is frustrated dealing with currently and what I’ve done and am currently doing to extract myself from that, to enjoy giving everything to life. It’s not designed for you to copy and paste into your life, but to inspire you to connect to your heart and what you feel to do as the only truth that matters, using your sensitivity.
The views I share are my own and based on my own observations.
