Our action girl of the month is very well know in the outdoor action scene, when it comes to riding with style. She is just amazing! Mother, rider, designer and absolutely crazy good looking! 🙂 Enjoy the interview I did with her.
What is your name?
Heida Birgisdottir
What do you do for living and where do you do it?
I work as head designer at Nikita, I live in Iceland and mostly work from there, but I also travel quite a lot for my work. Most of the time to Portland, Oregon where the main office is for Nikita.
What’s your favorite part of your job?
Doing sketches for a new collection and seeing the ideas come to life when thesamples are ready. Photo shoots are also a favorite.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I like to be outside doing some of my sports like snowboarding, skateboarding, hiking, riding my mountain bike or dirt bike. Spend time with my son, boyfriend, family and friends. Most of them do the same sports so we can do a lot together. I love doing some kind of workouts in the morning before I start working, swim, walk or do my yoga/fitness routine at home. I also love painting and going to concerts. I also love traveling to great places, to other countries and Iceland, but I travel a lot for work and sometimes I just like to be home instead of going to other places.
What was your last travel destination and what will be the next?
My last destination was Portland and my next will be Portland. I did go to Malmö and Berlin before that.
Favorite city?
I’m not really a big city person, but I like Berlin, Stockholm, Portland and of course Reykjavík.
