Hi 👋 this is raving about the work I’ve been doing and my hand/workbook for people who are reimagine the future of work and the way they work 🛰️

If you’re building your own career and life, explore different models and look for inspiration, tools and a network of others who are reimagining how they work — say hi, this is your place 🌀🥽

Ps — I just vibe coded a page where you can learn more about the book and grab a copy (link in bio!) 👀

I love telling the stories of people who explore different paths and models for their career — and share big life + career pivots.

Stepping into the art-filled Barcelona studio of illustrator @sebacuri and his wife @macarenaluzi transports you right away into their wide (and varied) creative world and journey across mediums.

The first thing you’ll notice are big hand prints hanging on the wall — Seb’s signature drawings. Then a big vintage press, big oak worktables scattered with papers and sketch books, playful ceramic shoes — a recent craft experiment from Macarena — on a pile of design books, and a little wiener dog, together with the couple’s daughter drawing on Seb’s lap. Music is playing, and the sound fills the whole open space 🧡

I got to know @sebacuri and @macarenaluzi while stumbling across their studio, walking back from a yoga class in poblenou, barcelona. The beautiful entrance and light-filled space caught my attention, so I stopped and said hi. This is how it startet.

And a couple of months later, I visited Seb and Macarena again for an interview about their ever evolving career and creative practice for @adobe Design 🧡 a dream come true 🙏

Thank you @laurafeinstein for this opportunity and Seb and Macarena for sharing their journey and look inside their home & studio. And @nuriagalirevel for capturing their home so stunningly.

Read the whole interview via adobe.design or on my substack 🤍

This is your reminder to stop and talk to people, you never know who you end up meeting. And to put yourself out there, and pitch your dream collabs!!

You can start again, you can reinvent yourself, you can explore different paths and new ways of working and living, new projects and ideas.

AND you don’t have to go through it alone.

With our Creative Residency you have space to bring all the topics that have been sitting in your head and you didn’t have the space (or community, or time…) to talk about. To slow down. To get reinspired. To have fun and take things lightly. Because you are the architect of your own life. And you can do whatever you want.

Join us Sept 19-23 in Italy, close to Rome 🍝

A little peek into my life in Barcelona and where the idea for @outofoffice.network came from ✨🌼🐚

My mission is to help you return to yourself, see yourself in a way you might have not seen yourself before — open up new possibilities & paths!

That could be by spending a few days inside an artist’s studio, visiting a creative residency, or talking to some new — which can slow you down, challenge assumptions, help you see what’s possible and reconnect you with that spark of inspiration within you ✨✨

Up next: our Creative Residency in Italy Sept 19-23 — a space to reconnect to yourself and what you’d like your next chapter to be about — a week of community, co-creation and slowing down, immersed in nature and craft 🎨🖼️ all info via link in bio (or dm me)

Thank you @lennekebenders for capturing this spirit to perfectly 🙏

Memories on film 🎞️ from our @outofoffice.network Creative Residency 2 years ago.

And now, this September, she’s coming back! After a life-changing year of motherhood, moving to Barcelona and re-discovering and shaping life & work as a creative mom, I’m so excited to host a space again for humans who want to live with more intention, and be the authors of their own lives.

There’s gonna lots of time to enjoy the beautiful Italian countryside, long table dinners (which I’m especially excited about — if you’re a fellow new parent you know how rare dinners out are 😅), creative workshops to dream and learn new crafts — facilitated by myself and @ateliervetra — and the best Italian food prepared by my wonderful friend and chef in residence @chef_francesca 🍊🍝🍉 it’s a week of slow living, craft, creativity, imagination and space to reconnect to yourself.

If this sounds like smth you’re interested in, join us! We have a few spots left — all details can be found via the link in the bio 🌀🐚
Sept 19-23 — close to Rome

Picture this…

🌞Mornings: breakfast with fresh seasonal fruit, to gather and start the day together and optional movement practice (walking along the fields, stretching, maybe yoga)

📝 Daily quest & reflection in small groups to talk about big questions you have on your mind about what’s next for you, or set an intention for something you might want to dedicate time to (a creative project, book, writing, learning knittinf or embroidery… you name it!)

🌼 2 days with our artist in residence to learn the natural dyeing practice and process, where we’ll spend a few hours foraging, learning dyeing techniques and dye clothing items

🏺 During the other days there will be one type of programming per day — a creative living manifesto creating session, a visit to a local artist studio

🫜 A light fresh lunch with locally sources ingredients under the olive trees, maybe combined with a little siesta

🐚 And apart from that, plenty of time to do your thing, enjoy the pool, wander, journal, work on your creative project..

🍝 Evenings will be spent on long table dinners, freshly prepared by our chef @chef_francesca with conversations, and just enjoying the time together

If that sounds like what you crave for, join us for our annual Creative Residency in Italy, Sept 19-23 2026 — all details via the link in our bio!

Last month ~ creative living through my lens 🦎
Visited lots of studios and museums, from Dalís incredible house and garden, a Matisse museum in Barcelona, with a kids play area inspired by how Matisse sketched out his artworks, to an exhibition opening by one of our artist collaborators @ombredansleau (studio sessions coming this fall), to joining our seasonal flower workshop with @carlotasimog 🌼

a month, where I feel like I’m re-expanding back into parts of myself, that have been dormant for some time, felt inspired, and felt like some seeds I’ve planted earlier this year are starting to sprout. And it feels good 💜
