Tell us a little about yourself! 
I’m a visual artist, designer and content creator with a BFA in sustainable design so that’s a very important aspect for me. I love to upcycle and add my own personality to things and I believe that we should all be surrounded by items that make us happy and inspired. Hence why art prints has become the main thing I do because it’s such a simple way to uplift a space and change the mood

Describe a typical day in your life!
Being a freelancer fits me so well because I get to design my own days and weeks, and I love it because I have a hard time with routines and everyday being the same as the last. Which also means there are no typical days but generally most days are pretty chill unless I have a lot of work at the same time (which always happens) or tight deadlines. My work can be drawing on my iPad, making Tiktoks, painting large scale murals outside, or going places to find inspiration (it’s usually just the thrift store or the park!)

Describe your art in 3 words! 
Calm/Quiet/Peaceful, because there are no people or movement, but at the same time they’re also full of life.

When do you feel the most creative? 
When the sun is shining.

What's the one interior piece you would save if your house was on fire?
I’ve got a horse head in oak that my dad made, probably that.

What's your biggest source of inspiration, do you have a role model?
Flowers, palm trees and with a chance of getting repetitive I gotta say Los Angeles haha. The city has been my biggest influence since before I had ever even been there and each time I visit I collect so much inspiration that it’s enough for me to create work all the way from back home in Sweden.

What’s your go-to gift to bring to a house warming party?
My own art prints, duh 

What are you doing in ten years? 
Hopefully I have a way bigger place because I have too many things already and I can’t imagine how much stuff I can collect in another 10 years time.

What's your best place on earth? 
My parents garden, and Silverlake; my favorite neighborhood in LA.

 Do you have any hidden talents? 
I’m pretty good at twisting words and coming up with puns fast. Sometimes they’re even funny!! 

I take photos when I'm… 
Most likely strolling down a completely random street.

I dance to…
Alooot of 60s and 70s music lately.

I laugh to… 
The show Crazy Ex Girlfriend never fails.

I love when people...
Choose kindness
