About

With a Master of Science in Business and Economics from the Stockholm School of Business, specializing in Marketing, I have built a dynamic career in creative leadership and brand strategy. Currently, I serve as the Creative Director at air up, where I lead a global team of art directors, copywriters, and designers to transform the brand's creative vision. Previously, I was a Senior Creative at Klarna, contributing to global campaigns and brand activations. I founded Grapest Wines, a wine house that paired wines with culinary delights, which I successfully sold in 2021. Additionally, I co-founded Company & Co., a brand agency with a challenger mentality, working with high-profile clients like Absolut Vodka and Kahlua. My journey began as a Global Creative at The Absolut Company, where I honed my skills in developing and executing creative strategies.
