Some people claim that I was born with a pencil in my left hand. Maybe a bold statement, but I’ve been drawing my whole life, that’s for sure. In the beginning mostly things on four wheels. Later on alsmost anything. Being able to reproduce an image that is in my own or someone else’s head, is like a drug. Now, my heart has moved from analog to digital, and that pencil now is a pen, made by Wacom. Print or online media, flat or 3D, static or moving, designing runs through my veins. No matter what kind of project I’m working on, the ‘WOW-feeling’ after an amazing result still is like a drug. Many years of experience have made me a very versatile designer, Flat or 3D. Still or motion. Very stylish or color full craziness. A simple online banner or fully animated 3D product presentation. I’ve done it all. Sometimes on my own, sometimes in a team of felllow freelancers. Understanding the needs and wishes on the client side, understanding techniques, possibilities and lingo on the creators side. Leading or running projects, with a keen eye for detail, but without losing sight on budget and deadline. Along with my curiousity for product design and digital technology, I think I have all it takes to please and surprise any kind of client. Please also check my website for some of my “moving” work. I sure hope it will get you curious enough. Any questions or remarks, just get in touch. Best regards, Patrik.
