Work Experience
Idébyrå+46
Creative Director/Owner
Having moved to Sweden in Sept.04, the only thing I needed to do is learn Swedish. I did and then after years of trying to find work, i decided that I had the knowledge and the drive to just start my own company. I love what I do and now I can do it in two languages. I started my company in Dec 2010 without knowing a soul. Now, Ive had the pleasure of creating identities for many awesome locals who appreciate my work and have helped promote my business. Life works out when your heart and soul are working in tandem.
