About


I’m an Art Director and graphic designer based in Stockholm, Sweden, working cross-disciplinary within the field of visual communication.

I do Creative- and Art Direction, graphic design, brandning and identity, design of- and for digital platforms and printed matter, editorial design, animation, illustration, set design, exhibition design and creative project- and production management.

With a norm-critical approach, I work exploratively in the pursuit of creating concepts and designs that move beyond the current boundaries of what we are used to seeing and experiencing within each project's own field and that are socially and environmentally sustainable.

I take on projects individually as well as in the role of project- and production manager in collaboration with other creatives, such as developers, copywriters, and photographers.
