Kristina Karlsson is the founder and Creative Director of global Swedish design and stationery business, kikki.K (102 kikki.K stores, stocked in another 250 and sold online to stationery and design lovers in more than 147 countries worldwide).

She's also a sought-after international speaker, a passionate learner and self-improver – and the proud mother of two children, Axel and Tiffany, with her partner, Paul. After growing up on a small farm in country Sweden, at the age of twenty-two she found herself in a new country, half a world away from family and friends, with little money no idea what to do with her life. So what was a girl to do? Imagine what her dream life could look like – and then make it happen.

With the deep personal experience of the power of dreaming and then doing, Kristina is on a mission to encourage people the world over to follow their own dreams. Her new dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people just like you to write down their own dreams on paper and set about bringing them to life. Why? Because by dreaming, we can all help to make the world a better place, starting with us.
