Introduction

I've worked with large and small companies internationally for over a decade to bring purpose and quality to their overall brand experience.

The studio is located in Mariefred, Sweden, where I work remotely with clients worldwide.

Philosophy

The internet pollutes around 3.8% of global carbon emissions. As a designer working primarily in digital contexts, I believe it’s my responsibility to provide brand and digital products that can help reduce these numbers.

Sustainability in design is recognized by not following trends, increasing clarity for users, reusing material, and executing effective working processes. I do my best in creating brand identities that last for decades and functional websites. My overall aesthetics always serves a purpose and is often motivated by functional rationals.

I only work with companies that share or understand these beliefs. Some are already there, and some are on their way.
