     Growing up, I never saw myself as an artistic person – at least not in the way that the word “artistic” is typically used. As a child I preferred perfecting my typing speed (72 WPM with a 100 % accuracy) over sketching, and there was a bigger chance of finding me color sorting the pencils in my art drawer rather than actually using them. My world of imagination was strongly bound to reality and I really made an effort to stay in the right lane when racing against my friends in MarioKart. I did, however, genuinely enjoy writing and my computer was full of drafts for chapters of bestselling novels, each and every one just a tad bit “inspired” by the latest book I had read myself.

     It wasn’t until I was an adult and, by pure coincidence, ended up at a vocational school of makeup artistry that I realized that I do have a type of artistic blood running through my veins. I was set on becoming a barrister or an accountant but makeup came naturally to me and I quickly became skilled in my trade graduating as the top student of my class. I had found my channel of creativity! My view on creativity and art was flipped upside-down and I started seeing my childhood hobbies in a different light. The typography and page layout of my never-to-be-finished books were always more important than the plot and when I helped friends set up personal blogs in grade school a used my sense of graphic design without realizing it. The difference between me and my artistic friends that I was oh, so envious of, was simply that I used to HTML to express myself rather than a box of Crayolas. This realization opened up a new sense of mind where I allowed myself to explore and utilize my creativity.

     All of this combined with some good, ol’ luck, a won battle against fatique syndrom and a name that people seem to always get wrong, eventually resulted in the business in front of you right now: RMCK – Rebecka Med CK, Rebecka, Spelled CK. Welcome to my digital atelier.
