I'm a freelancing Artist, Illustrator and Animator. I live in the northern peninsula just outside Gothenburg, Sweden with my two daughters and a very happy black labrador.
I have a BA in Computer Science from Lund University and a MA of Arts in Design for Interactive Media at Middlesex University. After Middlesex, I worked as a web developer and web designer for a few years in London before undertaking a PG Certificate in Animation from London Animation Studio where I graduated in 2003.
I have been a freelancer ever since, with exception for a few years as an Art Director at HIQ Gothenburg where I worked for clients such as Volvo, SCA, Wellspect and Trelleborg AB. My very first children’s book, with the Swedish title "Glaskulorna" (or, The Marbles), was published by Idus during Spring 2023.
As an Artist, I do a lot of my work by hand. I paint watercolours, make large ink drawings and create prints by carving rubber. I run a web shop on Etsy where I sell my work, but I also do illustrative and 2D animation work for clients. Besides working by hand I also paint and design a lot digitally.
I am based in Sweden, but I do have clients all over the world, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have a project in mind.
