I moved to the little town of Stokkseyri and had no work. I would go with my husband and father-in-law, Björgvin Tómasson, Iceland's only organ builder, to his workshop each day. I started going through scrap wood, slowly realising what I wanted to make. Fjaðrafok was born.

Yes, my inspiration is the bird life around us here on the south coast of Iceland, especially the raven – we have lots of them living in this area. The raven is my favourite, and inspired my first pair of wings called Vargur, which means vulture.

I am not afraid of hard work and I make the wings entirely myself, from beginning to end. Some people tend to think I have a few men to help me to do the 'manly' stuff. That is not the case.

I think it was when the biggest interior design magazine in Iceland interviewed me in 2018. They did a nine-page piece about my work. I was elated! Later that same year I was selected to be a part of Kirsuberjatréð, a local design store, run by 11 female designers and artists.
