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.
