My name is Pam. I am a designer, photographer, thinker and maker and I live and work in Berlin.
DESIGN
sustainable, eco-friendly and emotionally durable
Being creative, drawing and building things has been an important part of my life since childhood. I started design school when I was 16 and have been hooked ever since.
Here is a portfolio of my favorite projects:
graphics
I love bold illustrations and handmade typography. My graphics are inspired by art and design, the heroes of my childhood and vintage T-shirt prints. I like the glitter iron-on heat transfers and the cut-up punk shirts from the 70s, the skateboard T-shirts from the 80s, all kind of vintage type and random logo T-shirts.

Put on your favorite T-shirt and do something worth remembering. Once the graphic is faded, the fabric worn thin, your tattered T-shirt will have a hell of a story to tell. Visit the heldenstuff T-store and discover more organic cotton eye candy.

eco-friendly gear
I like to work with wood and steel. I buy used parts, recycle and reclaim, and build custom bikes, gear and furniture.

heldenstuff enamel mug. Hot coffee never looked so good.

I restored and customized this vintage Opinel No. 8 found at a flea market. I cleaned, tightened and sharpened the blade, heat colored the ring and repainted the handle.
I make these limited edition customized and branded pocket knives.

I love working with wood. Each piece of timber has its own character and texture.
