About me

I’m a Swedish designer living and working in Tokyo, Japan. I have worked with design for more than seven years. Except expert knowledge in web and graphic design, I’ve also been working as a GUI designer for games on various platforms.

Over the last year, I have experience working more with branding and creative solutions expanding over other areas like concept creation, mock-up design, print, video, motion graphics for products and other collateral.

Here are some of my work showcasing my design. Although I don't see myself as a coder, I'm also proficient in HTML and CSS coding and have experience working in Wordpress and jQuery when needed.
