My name is Lisa Kriga and I am a Swedish illustrator and creator based in Nusnäs outside Mora. Born and raised in a small village in the north of Sweden, nature, creativity and an active everyday life were a natural part of life.
Dad hunted, fished, crafted and cultivated what mum cooked. We used wood for heating (combined with solar panels), furniture and kitchen utensils. Mum sewed, knitted and wove clothes and household items.
It was a life close to nature, with gratitude for nature, and sustainable. Not only for the environment, but also for us.
Creation has remained important to me. Whether it was crafting, painting, singing, writing… even coding! After a few years lost in the world of business administration, I returned to it.
The love of my heritage is something I bring with me in everything I do. I hope it shines through.
Simple and unique
Me and my husband Johan have together JoLi Kriga – handicraft and illustration. With us you will find things that are created by hand, by us or others like us, together with products with my illustrations on and things that help you in everyday life.

#inmysketchbook
Creating for me is relaxation, creativity – and vital. In the pages Illustrations and Animations you see projects I have worked on in the past, both for myself and for clients. Here you see more private drawings, sketches and paintings I have in my sketchbooks. Sometimes used in my work, sometimes used as models or tests and sometimes just something completely original. For example, my own versions of images I find in books or magazines.
