About me

Born and raised in Stockholm, owner of a 20+ year-old gecko named Sigge, and working as a freelancer in the set design department for film productions and as a UX designer. I'm also the owner of a small second-hand boutique.

I put thoughts into words as my deep passion, as well as dust off my bike and go treasure hunting in Stockholm’s second-hand boutiques. Hopefully, friends will be out having a beer afterwards, and I’ll be more than likely going to join them!

Why Stockholm?
Stockholm has a lot of potential – both because of the nature and proximity to water, but also thanks to sustainable thinking and a lot of driven and creative people. This is what makes the city feel alive in my opinion; new things constantly pop up and there are things to do and talk about.

People here also like to gather and have a good time, and even though it’s tough during the darkest of seasons – I believe they really try their best not to curl up in their shells.

Where can you find me online?

Tva-Sma-Svin

Två Små Svin – Smørrebrød and schnapps

"Två Små Svin" ("Two Little Pigs") in Stockholm is a restaurant that will be worth that little effort of going a bit outside the city center.

Fåfängan – Get a city overview

"Fåfängan" in Stockholm is one of the most astonishing lookouts in the city. I like doing picnics there or, on chillier days, go for brunch!
