I am a professional Swedish artist living on Maui. I have been working with painting, textile sculpture, collages and print making for almost 20 years. I also create digital illustrations and pattern designs, using my watercolor paintings and sketches in Adobe Illustrator, to create endlessly scalable vector images and repeating patterns. If you are looking for a personable, competent, highly creative artist with solid Adobe illustrator skills to make your project shine - I am your person! I am bilingual and speak both English and Swedish fluently. If you need help translating or proofreading documents I can do that too.

’m a senior industrial designer and toy inventor with 20+ years of experience helping companies transform ideas into successful, manufacturable products. I specialize in toys and play products that are not only visually compelling, but engineered from the beginning for real-world production, cost targets, and retail success. My background spans the full product pipeline — from early concept development through production-ready CAD and factory handoff. I’ve collaborated with leading companies including Mattel, Hasbro, Spin Master, TOMY International, Educational Insights, Basic Fun, Moose, and Young Toys, with multiple products receiving Toy of the Year nominations. What I help clients with: • Toy concept development and mechanism ideation • Play pattern and feature development • Production-ready 3D CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino) • Injection molding and silicone DFM • Engineering drawings and tech packs • Prototype development and factory coordination • Photorealistic product renders for marketing I work especially well with startups, inventors, and growing toy companies that need a partner who understands both the creative side of play and the realities of manufacturing and margins. My goal on every project is simple: design products that look exciting on the shelf, function reliably in the real world, and make sense to manufacture. If you’re developing a toy or play product and need experienced, production-minded design support, I’d be happy to discuss your project.

I have worked as a graphic design artist for over 7 years, mainly in full-time jobs and have just made the switch to freelancing. I am proficient in most of the Adobe Creative Suite, my main applications being Illustrator and Procreate. I have worked in various parts of the industry, though have spent most of my time in print. At the beginning of my career, I worked as an in-house graphic designer for a screen-printing company where I worked daily on bringing clients' visions to life. I created many custom t-shirt designs in a variety of styles - from clean geometric to groovy hand-illustrated. After a year with the company, I went on to manage the entire art department, in which I had 6-8 artists underneath me. Where this was largely an administration-based job, it was also my job to gear the team creatively and ensure we were ahead of trends. I then went to work solely with a non-profit organization based in the heart of the surf world. I worked as part of their media team, until similarly, after about a year I then took over the whole department. This included creating all their marketing materials, shooting and creating content, managing their online presence, and creating merchandise for their sister business, a coffee shop. I believe what sets me apart as an artist is my people skills. I love working with people and being able to bring client's ideas to life. I am always open to feedback, as I want my clients to always walk away loving what has been made for them.
