In dieser Episode hör ich direkt hinter die Kulissen von Mareike’s erfolgreichem Label NKM. Eigentlich hatte sie für sich selbst eine Karriere in der Beautyabteilung der Vogue vorausgesehen gehabt, doch da hat ihr ihr treues “NKM Dorf” einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht. In ihrer Jugend hatte sie immer wieder mit Hautproblemen zu kämpfen und nachdem nichts Herkömmliches Wirkung zeigte, begann sie, sich für natürliche Behandlungsmethoden zu interessieren. Genauer gesagt für's "Selbstrühren" und dem Prinzip der Phytotherapie. Hört rein in unsere Unterhaltung über ein bisschen Hautprobleme, ein bisschen Business und natürlich über Mareike, dem nordischen Kraftbündel, das das “Selbstrühren” in einen angemessenen Zeitgeist übersetzt.Links zu Naturkosmetik München:NKM Atelier@naturkosmetikmuenchen

When I met Laura, an unexpected world opened up to me. For years I had observed her work, endlessly churning out well balanced projects. I saw the image of the strong and public persona that she is through her profession, nobody would guess that there is a shy, withdrawn side to her where her work serves as a resort for escape. Laura never planned on having her own company, she once wanted to get some info about going freelance and walked out with a licence to found an agency.In this episode, Laura shares how she grew up, what her experience at university was like, the up’s and down’s of “the business”, being playful about being a woman in a man’s world, how she goes about her famous vintage purchases, what she does to take time to herself, the materials she loves to work with and how she goes about pricing projects.To see more of Laura and Atelier Karasinski, go to:www.atelierkarasinski.com@laurakarasinski@atelierkarasinski
