Our friend Aleks Byrd is a knitwear designer and illustrator. When it comes to designing and illustrating knitwear, Aleks loves to work with many different strands. With a heritage tied to three countries – USA, Estonia and Canada – she has plenty of ideas and inspiration running through her, but tends to play with her Estonian roots in particular, weaving it into new patterns in order to produce modern and unique designs with a connection to the past.
