• I'm a freelance graphic designer and artist from Uppsala, Sweden. I focus on simple illustrations and make logos, posters and icons. I also try to be a photographer and film artist at occasions.  


    // BIOGRAPHY //

    I was born in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1983. I still live there, but travel to different locations quite frequently and have worked with clients from USA, Brazil and Italy, among others. I started doing graphic design in 2009, just playing around with personal projects and illustrations. In 2010-2011 I attended an evening class in visual communication at Beckmans school of design in Stockholm. Now, I'm working on personal projects and do commission work.
