Art Director / Graphic Designer
During the years at The Göteborg Opera I had the privilege to create marketing designs for many dance, opera and concert productions. The Göteborg Opera is one of the leading opera houses in Northern Europe – attracting prominent artists and teams from around the world. A house that simmers with ambition, talent and hard work.

I was responsible for designing and producing the key part of The Göteborg Opera’s printed communication, ads, branding items etc. Major projects; the extensive yearly programme and numerous concept designs used to market opera, dance, musical and concert productions. These concepts act as templates for each production’s visual appearance in a wide range of marketing channels, both offline and online.
Also frequently performing photographic work.
