Hello<\/h3>\n

My name is Madelene Dahlberg &\u00a0I'm the creator of KOMUDESIGNS.<\/h4>\n

I am 35 years old and live in the Swedish countryside with my dog. I have a graphic design education but a love for sewing. I am primarily self-taught from an early age, but have participated in several courses and workshops over the years to strengthen my knowledge.<\/p>\n

The business is run on a part-time basis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Why Komudesigns?<\/h4>\n

Well, I had to come up with a name for a graduation project in 2010. I mashed up the word designs with a nickname from my cosplay days and had a giggle over it since translated into Swedish, it literally means \"cow\" \"moo\", and I've always liked cows. Then I needed a website for a portfolio, and the name stuck. The company itself I created out of sheer frustrated stubbornness.<\/p>\n

I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression early on, then with severe chronic migraines and later with Autism. Time and time again, I was told I'd likely never be able to work. This is where my Autism kicks in with its laser focus on certain interests.<\/p>\n

Mine? Design and sewing. I was a child draping curtains on my mother's mannequin and drawing on all sorts of paper. A teenager who started with cosplay, graphic design and photography. An adult who immersed himself in historical sewing, corsetry and embroidery, and later folk costume.<\/p>\n

Launch of the company<\/h4>\n

I wanted to be able to work, even if it was only for 1 hour a week. The portfolio was quickly converted into a proper company website and KOMUDESIGNS Kommanditbolag was registered as a company in early 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My diagnoses have long felt like stop signs, but in reality, they turned out to be the very thing that made this whole thing possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What's happening now<\/h4>\n

You may have noticed that my website looks a little different - you can no longer order riding skirts. This part of the company is phased out.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Jag har en utbildning grafisk designer men en k\u00e4rlek f\u00f6r s\u00f6mnad. Jag \u00e4r i f\u00f6rsta hand sj\u00e4lvl\u00e4rd fr\u00e5n tidig \u00e5lder, men har deltagit i flera kurser och workshops genom \u00e5ren f\u00f6r att st\u00e4rka min kunskap.<\/p> <p>F\u00f6retaget drivs p\u00e5 deltidsniv\u00e5.\u00a0<\/p> <h4>Varf\u00f6r Komudesigns?<\/h4> <p>Tja, jag var tvungen att komma p\u00e5 ett namn f\u00f6r ett examensprojekt 2010. Jag mixade ordet designs med ett smeknamn fr\u00e5n mina cosplay-dagar och fnissade lite \u00f6ver det d\u00e5 jag gillar kor och det ju bokstavligen \u00e4r \"ko\" \"mu\". Sedan beh\u00f6vde jag en webbplats f\u00f6r en portfolio, och namnet fick f\u00f6lja med. Sj\u00e4lva f\u00f6retaget skapade jag av ren frustrerad envishet.<\/p> <p>Jag fick diagnoserna \u00e5ngest och depression tidigt, sen sv\u00e5r kronisk migr\u00e4n och senare autism. G\u00e5ng p\u00e5 g\u00e5ng fick jag h\u00f6ra att jag f\u00f6rmodligen aldrig skulle kunna arbeta. Det \u00e4r h\u00e4r min autism kommer in med sitt laserfokus p\u00e5 s\u00e4rskilda intressen.<\/p> <p>Mina? Design och s\u00f6mnad. Jag var ett barn som draperade gardiner p\u00e5 mammas provdocka och ritade p\u00e5 allt vad papper hette. En ton\u00e5ring som b\u00f6rjade med cosplay, grafisk design och fotografi. En vuxen som f\u00f6rdjupade sig i historisk s\u00f6mnad, korsetter och broderi, och senare folkdr\u00e4kt.<\/p> <h4>F\u00f6retagets lansering<\/h4> <p>Jag ville kunna jobba, \u00e4ven om det bara handlade om 1 timme i veckan. Portfolion omvandlades snabbt till en ordentlig f\u00f6retagshemsida och KOMUDESIGNS Kommanditbolag registrerades som f\u00f6retag i b\u00f6rjan av 2020.\u00a0<\/p> <p>Mina diagnoser har l\u00e4nge k\u00e4nts som stoppskyltar, men i verkligheten visade de sig vara just det som gjorde det hela m\u00f6jligt.\u00a0<\/p> <h4>Dagsl\u00e4get<\/h4> <p>Du kanske har m\u00e4rkt att min hemsida ser lite annorlunda ut - du kan inte best\u00e4lla ridkjolar l\u00e4ngre.
