Work Experience

Illustrator at Rithuset AB
January 1, 1985 - January 1, 1990
Began my career as an illustrator after attending advertising school. Created traditional nature-focused illustrations, engravings, and watercolors for a range of clients. Gained experience across packshots, magazine and book illustration, and laid the groundwork for a multidisciplinary studio practice.
Co-founder / Owner at Rithuset AB
January 1, 1990 - Present
Took over the company after five years and, with Mikael Eriksson, relaunched Rithuset AB as Scandinavia’s leading illustration studio. Over 30 years, led a network of more than 50 illustrators (I personally handled engravings, watercolors, 3D and animations) and worked across watercolor, oil, digital, and 3D; produced packshots, animations, and films for major brands including Coca-Cola, Electrolux, ASSA Abloy, TetraPak, and Sony. Created iconic characters and campaigns (Boxer Robert, Telenor Emma, the Swan label’s Swan, IF Lena, and the Kalles Caviar guy) and contributed to notable intros such as the SF (Sweden Film Industry) intro and the Viaplay animated logos. Designed and illustrated porcelain series for Rörstrand in collaboration with Prince Carl Philip.
