Originally from Sweden's barren but beautiful west coast, I fostered most of my advertising career in sunny Australia and among the glorious fjords of New Zealand, where I've been working for both larger traditional agencies and smaller digital hotshops. Most recently I was the digital creative lead at Saatchi & Saatchi.

Being incredibly passionate about language, culture and people, my best work tend to come when I can work with different personalities, across disciplines and mix interesting technology with simple and engaging ideas.

Here are some of the brand I've been working on.

ASB Bank, Citibank, Coca-Cola, Heineken, Malibu, Red bull Unilever, Volvo, Toyota, IKEA, Air New Zealand, Qantas, Vodafone, American Express, IBM, Ray-Ban, Greenpeace, Amnesty International and a bunch of other charities.

I'm also a practicing digital artist, coding my own interactive artworks which are frequently exhibited around the world at various galleries, festivals and museums.
