About


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

With an explorative approach my pursuit is to create progressive and sustainable concepts and designs that challenge norms and widen perspectives.

I take on projects both individually and in collaboration with other creatives, such as developers, copywriters, and photographers.

Awards

2023 • Winner in the category Form (Design) in Kolla! 2023 with Repertoire in a box for Riksteatern.

Motivation: “With an inviting address and interactive elements, this contribution recreates the excitement that was lost when the performing arts had to take alternative forms during the corona pandemic. Through the layer-on-layer principle, carefully designed printed materials are presented that become physical extensions of the ideas they represent. A congenial design object with great finesse that arouses the recipient's interest in a playful and whimsical way. This is a small gift full of surprises where the inherent dramaturgy not only communicates but is also an experience in itself”.


2021 • Silver in Svenska designpriset for Repertoire in a box in the Information Print category.

2020 • Award in the category The Collective with the community and Facebook group Kreatörsgäris in Kolla! 2020

Kreatörsgäris is a Facebook group and community for women, non-binaries and transgendered people within the creative field, that I’m administrating together with Frida Walström, Nathalie Ruejas Jonson and Ruhani.
Motivation:
“Kreatörsgäris is a closed party that opens up and inspires. A helpful space for questions, support and advice within the business.”

2016 • Gold in Kolla!
for Ogulligt in the moving image/games, apps and interactive design category.

2014 • Silver in Kolla!
