I have worked as a freelance within illustration and graphic design for many years. I got my formal training at Konstfack University College of Art (Department of Graphic Design and Illustration) and Beckman's College of Design (Department of Advertising). Both in Stockholm, Sweden.
I produce artwork and design for a broad range of clients and markets both in Sweden and Internationally. I enjoy working for magazines, merchandising, publishing houses, advertising and packaging.
All while drinking coffee to the music of Chet Baker or Amy Winehouse.
