 Celebrating Female Designers Design Portrait: Jacqueline Kessidis, Designer and Co-founder of Crème Atelier Created by Anine Johnsen, 4 March, 2026 Swedish designer Jacqueline Kessidis didn't follow a traditional path into design. Before founding Crème Atelier, she worked in branding within the pharmaceutical industry. Yet creativity and curiosity were always central to her life. Crème Atelier began as a side project - a way to create something sculptural, sustainable, and joyful for her own home. Discovering 3D printing opened up a new world of possibilities: local, experimental, and creatively limitless. Explore Jacqueline Kessidis's designs  A Tactile, Emotional UniverseKessidis describes her design world as tactile, sensual, and emotional. “I’m drawn to the organic forms that feel intuitive rather than constructed,” she says. For her, design is about creating a mood - a presence that lingers beyond the visual. Made with 3D PrintingCrème Atelier’s designs are created using 3D printing, allowing each piece to be produced locally with a high level of precision and creative freedom.  Slow, Intentional CreationAt Crème Atelier, the creative process is deliberately slow. Kessidis allows time to experiment with proportions, weight, and balance, exploring the boundary between art and function. She intentionally blurs the line between interior object, sculpture, and artwork, ensuring each piece tells a story through material and maintains a sense of hand-crafted presence, even when refined. Trust Your EyeFor young designers, Kessidis emphasizes intuition and authenticity. “Trust your eye and intuition. Don’t adapt your expression just to fit a trend or someone else’s aesthetic,” she advises. Building something true to oneself, she believes, requires patience, discipline, and a commitment to depth - qualities that give work resonance and character. She also emphasizes the importance of supporting one another in the creative field, - through collaborations, recommendations, and investing in female-led initiatives.
