I'm Claes Sillberg, a Swedish graphic designer and educator with over two decades of experience in advertising and graphic design. I started my career at Thorman Printing in 1998, handling the digital printing press, graphic design and prepress work, and I later contributed to in-house advertising at New Wave Group, creating catalogs, adverts and pamphlets for subsidiary brands. In recent years I have run my own company and taught courses in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, MS Excel and PowerPoint while continuing to deliver graphic design services for a range of clients. I’m a thorough, creative and calm professional who enjoys combining design work with teaching and event organization (often with a culinary touch). I have collaborated with leading Swedish agencies such as Lindh & Partners and Forsman & Bodenfors, and I continue to share my knowledge through courses and freelance projects, aiming to help clients communicate visually and effectively.
