My interest in visual art and illustration was sparked early on in my life by my parents’ careers in textiles and later led to study at ARCH College of Design.
With a degree in Graphic Design and Advertising from Forsbergs School of Design, I have worked at many of the institutions of Stockholm’s creative and commercial scene. For example, art gallery CFHILL and branding agency Kurppa Hosk, where I contributed on producing work for some of the leading companies in Scandinavian culture, including Fotografiska and Into the Valley. As well as more tech and industrial-driven clients such as Telia, Scania and Sandvik.
—My philosophy sees design as a craft, creating practical works that fulfil a set purpose, that find a solution to a posed problem.
What inspires you?
My work is inspired by a desire to tell stories – as in photography, a strong interest of mine. My philosophy sees design as a craft, creating practical works that fulfil a set purpose, that find a solution to a posed problem.
Name a great purpose example
The outdoor brand Patagonia made a bold statement by giving away a majority of the company’s shares to a nonprofit organization fighting climate change. A great example of how to walk the talk.
