About Benita Crandall

I am a Swedish born designer, now residing in beautiful Saint Helena. Growing up in Sweden has greatly influenced my design aesthetics which tends to be minimal and classic with a modern touch. I love typography and put a lot of effort into making the type just right.

Hi Benita, thanks for your wonderful comment. I love hearing about your garden and your walks. Camellias are so beautiful. We have a bevy of squirrels too. They love our giant oak tree. We've planted a bunch of hummingbird attracting plants, so we always see them flitting around. I like going to some of the botanical gardens around here too. There are so many of them.
