So, who am I then?

Well the simple answer is this: I am a lot.
A playful illustrator, designer, musician and creator of things and stuff. I love using all different kinds of media, and my favorites right now are graphic design and ink illustration.
And my favorite thing to make is a pattern. ​
​
(I love patterns!!!)​​​
​
what have
I been up to until now?

Same answer again: A lot.
​​​​But, since you asked, here's a bit of my story.
​It all started in the forests of Småland, an idyllic countryside province in southern Sweden. That's where I grew up, running across meadows, swimming in any lake I could find, picking mushrooms in the pine forests and learning the names of all the tiny little birds visiting our backyard. ​

​​​As a kid, my biggest dream was to make a living as a nature photographer. To travel the world and take pictures of all the curious things in nature. I later studied and took some work in the field of photography. But while meddling there, I found graphic design and fell in love with it. ​
That wasn't the only thing I fell in love with though.
But by trying to do all the things I loved, at the same time, I quickly burned out.
Since then I had to learn to really listen to my body.
Now, my body is my best friend.
And it tells me exactly ​what I need to hear when I need to hear it.
So while I sometimes run around very fast, I oftentimes intentionally move v e r y s l o w . ​​​​​​​​​
(Hence the reminder "Sakta ner" on the back of my business cards.
It's Swedish, and literally means "Slow down".)
And what about now?
​​​​​Well, after recovering, I inevitably found my way back to the design field. (I truly just enjoy making stuff!) This time with a different focus, perspective and voice though. Most of the stuff I design are things that I myself want and need. Things that connect me to what I value and art that reminds me of what I need to remember. Mainly it's rooted the bodys' connection to nature
and focused on the importance of both joyful play and​​​​​
​​​​​
And while doing all this, I came to learn that:
I'm not that different from many of the people around me.
It seems as though most of us could use a little reminder every now and then.
So now I make my art for you as well.
​​
And that, my loves, is the story. Or parts of it at least.
And now, while you are scrolling around this little world wide web page of mine,
I truly hope that you enjoy seeing my stuff as much as I do making it.

Okay sure, but I meant like, what exactly have you been up to until now?
Oh, you just wanted the list? Of course, silly me. I'll make it precise for you.
