Naja Conrad Hansen | Copenghagen
Half Finn and half Danish Naja Conrad-Hansen was born in Copenhagen, but has lived from Finland and Berlin to Greece and Egypt. Coming from an artistic family, it was natural for her to choose an artistic path. With an education from the Danish Design School, where she focused on illustration, graphic design, building fashion concepts, and making silk-screen prints, Conrad-Hansen's inspirations come equally from the worlds of fashion, hardcore music, and traditional art and design.
