📍  G E R M A N Y   -   N Y C

Hi. It's Katrin, also known as Kazumi, my artist name, (jap. harmonious beauty). 

I created OFF COLOR in 2011 and started a creative journey that brought me to where and what I am today: a creative studio. This happy haus is brought to you via film, photography, and illustration; covering a healthier lifestyle , supported by recovering tools and meditation. 

OFF COLOR's mission is mental health activism and with #OCshare I started a special project which is about community spirit and helping others to educate each other on food, nutrition, and health. But also sharing resources and common goods - donating whatever is needed.

On OFF COLOR, I speak very openly about my mental health journey, but I also want you to explore my personal food world and pleasures that help me being more balanced and happy, because that's what life is all about. Through travelling, I discovered my love for food and nature. I guess I left my heart in Cape Town, but NYC is on my mind all day. On this website you will get to see a great melting-pot of New York tings, mixed with a lot of heimat vibes, and a touch of South Africa. 

Therefore, recreate my favorite recipe from Cape Town "Iced Boeber", entertain yourself with my NYC stories, or simply start your healing journey with the free downloads I made for recreation. Let's make mental health an important and normal topic to talk about. We need to educate each other, inspire through stories, and connect through the right exercises. 

Make yourself comfortable here - I want you to feel at home and get to know things that might make your daily a bit brighter and easier. 

If you want to stay in touch, make sure to follow me on Instagram and Twitter, but also check out OFF COLOR on Bloglovin and Pinterest, of course! 

Are you interested in working with me?

I am always open to hear creative ideas that we can turn into a beautiful project! I'd love to connect with brands that are a good fit for OFF COLOR and the topics I cover here. From photography, to writing, and creating visual pleasure - you choose. Shoot me a quick mail and I'd love to start a conversation with you then!

There's a lot of work and dedication that I put into this website. A lot of my art, creations, posts, and research are based on freelancing and I offer 95% here for free. OFF COLOR is not about profits - education and awareness is something I believe should be for free.
Therefore, I always appreciate a little support from you, too. 
Here's my PayPal donation page, if you support and love my work or just want to help make the content and ressources here better. 

Freelancing ain't free and I appreciate every support I get.
