Squarespace
▲ 60" Anthem TV
Art Direction
Anomaly
Together with Patrik Mollwing
Through this campaign, we wanted to encourage everyone who has a passion, dream or idea to act on it and turn that dream into reality with a Squarespace website, by telling them You Should.
To inspire people to follow their calling we featured real Squarespace customers who embody the You Should attitude; the creators, makers and doers who have followed their dreams and acted on their ideas, in an integrated campaign that spans TV, out-of-home, print and digital.
The You Should campaign premiered with an anthem on the Golden Globes and continued to launch as Squarespace’s first attempt to reach a market outside of the U.S.
To kick off the print campaign we did a full take over of Union Square, one of the most trafficked metro stations in New York City, as well as murals painted in the biggest cities of the U.S.
OOH Print

Cinemagraphs were displayed on digital billboards, kiosks and websites such as WeTransfer.

Booklet
We created three stories targeting families, millennials and young adults in an attempt to inspire them to adventures of any kinds.
Wether it's a family picnic, a roof top barbecue in a city landscape or a roadtrip to the middle of nowhere with your best friends, today is a great day. Get Out. Cook Out.
The three stories was showcased in a product booklet, at fairs, in-store and as window displays all through Europe and the U.S.
Patches
To bring our stories to life and add an outdoorsy vibe, each story got their own collectable patch. The patches was sewed onto backpacks and tote bags as giveaways and was a big part of the digital and in-store marketing.

New branding and logo for Arla Organic International. The Organic territory logo is shaped as a soft and friendly cloud, a natural development from the Arla Skyline. By adding elements from nature to the text we managed to give the logo a sense of care.

Bachelor's Degree Project
Book Design
Beckmans College of Design
In my Bachelor’s Degree Project I focused on how fear affects a person and what the consequences are for subsequent generations.
My grandfather experienced The Second World War as a jewish boy in Poland. Since he passed away in 2007 I turned to the people he’d been close to, to talk about how his experiences might have affected his identity.
Participants: Irina Orlowski, Hans Ruin, Daniel Birnbaum, Tatjana Hydman, Maciej Zaremba, Leonard Neuger, Jacob Stjernberg & Elisabeth Stjernberg.
The interviews were written down and published in a book called Satz, Bralkowski, Schröder, Orlowski, all of the names my grandfather had during the war, living under false identity.
Satz, Bralkowski, Schröder, Orlowski was awarded with the Harry Küller Grant, 2014.
The design of the camouflage pattern is used throughout the book as a symbol for disguise. It grows more dense as we get closer to my grandfather's person through other people’s memories.
