Hiking experience company
Winter project, 2024
This project is a collaboration with a design studio and the customer – I was the illustrator assigned. Hajk needed some illustrated merch including coasters and t-shirts. What I did was taking their logo (a bear) and making him act in different situations to bring the brand to life.

Procreate, 2024-
I enjoy drawing on my iPad and sometimes the result is rather cute – like this little illustration of a bundle of fish. I often play around with bold color combinations, strokes and textures.

Me, myself & a piece of paper
2024
These illustrations are made as sketches by hand first – then transferred to Adobe Illustrator to polish them. I used the same method as in my exam project, where I made some old school tattoo style illustrations. I really enjoy the process of making illustrations in this particular style.

In connection to developing their new visual identity we saw an opportunity to make the brand come more to life by introducing some playful illustrations. Both to relate more to the kids, but also make the subject of disease less heavy.

In a fast-paced world of quick-fixes and easy copies I care about quality processes and depth. I believe that good work starts with the original idea and ends with craftmanship. It’s these two pillars I return to in every project – my light houses.
Sometimes I do some physical art that can be seen here ↗︎

Masonry company
2021
A small masonry company reached out to me to ask if i could design a logo for their new brand. I came up with the idea of shaping the “H” – from the owner’s name – with bricks, and make it more tactile with rough edges. The logo is used on their website and as a large format on their company vehicles.
