Nature, space, and people – these three elements have accompanied Maike Kristina Harich throughout her life and are now interwoven in her designs. She began with people. As a trained communications consultant, she founded her own agency in 1998 at the young age of 23, built it up over the years, and, together with her team, advised national and international clients on interpersonal communication. She was a lecturer at the University of Bremen, among other institutions, and held various board positions in business associations. Years later, she decided to sell her agency, stepping away from the relentless pursuit of "higher, faster, further" and establishing her own studio to have more freedom and space for creativity. Throughout her life, she has maintained a close connection to nature, roaming through meadows and fields as a child. Even later, in her hectic job as an agency head, she sought balance in the tranquility of walks through the North German countryside, riding her horse, or by focusing on a lifestyle as close to nature as possible, for example, in her diet. With the founding of her studio, nature also entered her professional life. This manifested in nature illustrations, linocuts with botanical motifs, and abstract landscapes, which she drew and painted. Magazines such as Homes & Gardens, Landlust, and Wohnen & Garten featured her editions. And so, she found, and continues to find, a loyal clientele in a wide variety of countries. At the same time, in response to requests, Maike Kristina Harich began to apply her atmospheric style to three-dimensional designs, creating her first interior spaces. Always with a focus on nature, whether through natural materials in the interior or by integrating the garden into a cohesive aesthetic design. When she designed her first garden, it was like "coming home," as if it had always been the goal of her career path—with a few twists and turns along the way. She completed, among other things, a certificate course in spatial design, participated in various international training courses in garden and landscape design, as she was particularly inspired by English and Dutch garden designers, also learned a lot about architectural psychology and healing architecture, and finally specialized entirely in the design of outdoor spaces and gardens.
