It’s been an absolute dream come true to work closely together with Nike to create the visuals of abstracted sports mixed with different cities’ topographical grids for their concept stores in Europe. The art is a curation of sport and culture, always informed by aspects of the neighbourhood (or geographical area) and the sport and fitness mindset of its local consumer.
The local concept store can be found in Sweden, Denmark, Hungary, Belgium, and Spain!
Huge thanks to Nike and the entire team, the lovely AD Joel Clifford and Agent Pekka
I’m so excited to finally be able to share this project that means so much to me - I got to create a pattern for this year's Limited Kånken Art Edition for Fjällräven. I decided to draw attention to the problem of plastic in the sea and thus to raise awareness of the health of our oceans - an important step in the right direction. The fabric is made from Fjällräven's G-1000 HeavyDuty Eco, which is made from recycled polyester and organic cotton. The accessories also contribute to the Arctic Fox Initiative. One percent of every backpack purchase goes directly to the organizations that work to ensure that plastic does not end up in the oceans.
A massive thanks to Hedvig Ahlberg and Alexander Svensson for being the brilliant people you are and for filming the movie, Sjobergproductions for all the help + editing the film, and to Fjällräven for including me in this amazing initiative.

Sound of Waves brings together artists on 'creative blind dates'
Super happy to share these two collaborative pieces I created for a new group exhibition by Pocko Japan.
It will run from June to September 2019 at the Park Hotel in Tokyo.
Pocko paired up their artists in ‘creative blind dates’ to encourage new ideas and I had the pleasure of working with the brilliant photographer Kyoko Hamada.
Midsummer is the most important holiday in Sweden. In June, the sun never sets and crowds gather to eat pickled herring, drink schnapps and sing songs about frogs with flowers in your hair while dancing around a pole – What’s not to love?
Very excited and humbled to be Something™ first creator. They feature different artist outside their studio space in Fitzrovia.
A new little family
My lovely and amazing friend approached me and asked for a little print she could hang above her first baby's crib. So I created this little illustration for her.

We were a bit tired of this industry being too much of a boy’s club, so we decided to do something about it. Read more about what we do and why we do it on our website.
