hallå!


I am a Swedish Art Director working in San Francisco.
I have always been interested in people and how we communicate with each other. That, combined with my passion for a wide variety of craft techniques, led me to the advertising world, where I currently work as an art director at Argonaut, together with my dear copywriter partner and friend
Sofia.
