I’m an Art Director from Sweden, working with communication concepts, brand identity, and service design since 2013—helping brands glow on both Swedish and international markets.

  • At a young age I wanted to become an inventor. I had some wild ideas about time travel, which came to life through a modified sports helmet. 🤣

    I'm an award winning Art director and a multidisciplinary designer currently based in southern Dalsland of Sweden. I've always been an early adopter and also very intrigued by technology and its many possibilities. But instead of finally cracking the case of space-time continuum, I found my way through art and design instead. It wouldn't have happened if it were not for my brother's Amiga 500 back in the 90's, which had an early version of Paint.

    Before committing to advertising and branding in 2013, I worked with sales and team management in different business categories. Don't hesitate to reach out if you wanna grab a coffee and talk about the future.

A playful take on an iconic finale.

My most recent adaptation is for the film HEAT. I’ve always loved this movie—probably not the only one. But there’s something about the final airport scenes that really spoke to me. At the same time, I wanted to explore a more illustrative style to bring out its characteristics in a way that’s both clean and playful.

  • At YRGO in Gothenburg. The course curriculum covers the entire communication process, including research, environmental scanning, analysis, branding, positioning, communicative strategy, insights and idea development, creation, presentation, and practical campaign planning across various media.

  • Throughout my career, I've taken the lead on several projects with a digital twist. I've managed the design and launch of the investigative report Systrar for Göteborgs Posten, as well as various initiatives for Länsförsäkringar and Stena Recycling. Beyond steering creative projects, I have a background in retail sales and have led and coached salespeople in the electronics sector as a deputy store manager at the Siba group. This means I'm quite familiar with working closely with clients and diverse talents to achieve the results everyone expects—because let’s face it, nobody wants to miss the mark!

  • For me, it's not so much about who my favorite client is, but how we work together. To be honest, it rarely correlates with the budget or past success. What really matters is the vibe in the room—the openness to change, knowledge, and courage. With the right insights, we can uncover valuable understanding of a brand that opens up exciting opportunities to connect effectively. And if we can challenge ourselves and dare to explore new paths and expressions, that’s something I truly get excited about. I think the audience picks up on that energy too!
