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?
