I often wonder how much of ourselves we leave in the things we create.

For me, there is the sea of Dubrovnik, where I grew up, the freedom of making things by hand, flowers, colours, old objects, places I’ve visited, and little details I collect without even realising it. And, of course, my family and my home.

All these pieces find their way into my work, often becoming patterns on walls.

Perhaps this is what Darlingmind is really about: bringing together the things we love, the places we carry within us, and the memories that make us who we are.

Because a home should be more than beautiful. It should feel like you.

Let your walls tell your story.

I have a little confession: I can’t walk past an interesting door, a beautiful tile, or a strange little detail without stopping to look. And don’t even get me started on museums and old buildings!
Over the years, I’ve learned that these little obsessions are often where my patterns begin.
That’s why I created my free Pattern Starter Kit — to help you discover the inspiration hiding in the things you see every day and turn it into something of your own.

Today is my birthday, and this photograph takes me back to the beginning of everything.

I was three years old. I had no idea how far life would take me, how many times I would have to start over, pack a suitcase, leave places and people behind in search of something I couldn’t yet name.

As I grew older, I began to understand that one of the greatest gifts a mother and a family can give is the courage to let go.

To loosen their hold on the desire to keep us close, to protect us, to know where we are. To accept that our place in the world might be somewhere far away, somewhere different from what they had imagined for us.

It takes an immense kind of strength, especially for a mother. Because loving someone also means learning not to hold them back.

I left with a suitcase, far away from everything I knew. I crossed borders, languages, fears and new possibilities. And little by little, I discovered who I was. Or perhaps I simply learned to listen to the part of me that had been waiting for the space to emerge.

Today, looking at this little girl beside her mother, I think of how much of who I am was shaped by that freedom.

By everything I have built, the person I have become, the worlds I have imagined, and all the ones I have yet to discover.

And I feel deeply grateful to those who gave me roots without expecting them to become chains.

Perhaps growing up means carrying the love we come from, even when we choose to travel far beyond it.

Today, I celebrate another year of life. And if I could make a wish for that little girl, I would tell her to keep leaving, keep searching, keep looking at the world with wonder.

Because sometimes, to find a place to call home, we first need the courage to leave it. 🤍

I’ve always loved looking closely at nature: the lines of a tree, the rhythm of its branches, the beauty of its imperfections.

I collect these little details, often without realising it. Sometimes, they find their way into my patterns and become part of someone’s home.

This is what I love about Darlingmind: bringing little pieces of the world I love onto your walls.

Inspiration is everywhere, if we take the time to notice.
