Overview
In 2016 I started my own company and have since then focused more on book design. So far I’ve illustrated/designed 16 children's books for major Swedish book publishers – B. Wahlströms, Natur & Kultur, Opal and Norstedts. But I'm not just aiming to do children's books. I'd love to illustrate and design cook books or books about gardening! Or calendars, greeting cards and notebooks.
I master a variety of styles but I guess you could say I'm very much into colors – my illustrations have also been described as warm, compassionate and humorous. I work digitally but aim for a hand drawn look and
I like to use different techniques, mixing drawings with watercolor and ink.
Clients find me easy to work with – fast but thorough, responsive, dedicated and versatile. I love new challenges and dive into projects with 200% commitment!
