Moving to Dublin made me realise that people love their sea swims. That’s when I first heard of the famous Christmas and New Year’s swims. Unlike many people on the continent, Dubliners love to go for a swim at any time of the year – no matter how cold it is.

I am a German graphic designer and illustrator based in Dublin, with a passion for storytelling. In my work, I explore everyday situations, noticing the little things and observing people through her drawings. I am also currently inspired by my experience of living abroad, and the concept of feeling at home in more than one place. Let me know if that works for you! My Instagram handle is @michelleurbaan.
