Long story short
After a first project of stop motion videos for Puma in 2010, I started freelancing as a Visual designer in Paris during my studies and mostly worked on branding projects and interface creation of all kinds for both larger and smaller companies. In 2015 I joined an IT company based in Tokyo as an UI/UX Designer but kept freelancing on various projects on my free time.
In 2020, after working five years in Tokyo for both start-ups and larger structures I decided to come back to Europe and am currently based in Paris and Gothenburg.
Creative and passionate, I’m particular about my pixels. This is why I am looking for perfection in whatever I take on. With a motivated and inquiring mind I like to work with creative teams exchanging ideas and bringing along my know-how. I create visual identities, websites and digital experiences.
I usually find my inspiration in Scandinavian Designs, Art and in small things of every day life. I favor smart and minimalist things. I like to craft delightful, useful, and usable digital experiences showing the best of my customers’s values.
Outside of design, my interests include baking, fashion, entomology, snakes, tattoos and dot illustration.
