I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer...


I work on a freelance basis for some of London's top design consultancies and also directly with clients.
My core skills lie in developing effective brand identity, graphics, print, corporate identity and some aspects of web design.

Having a strong background in brand design and fine art has helped to develop wider fields in design with a thorough understanding of visual communication and strong ideas. I love coming up with ideas and I work with a collaborative spirit and develop each project in close consultation with the commissioner, following all details with relevant printers until happy completion.

I am in constant pursuit of fresh ideas with extreme attention to detail and I love problem solving and strong ideas and seeing through the project to the final stage, whether it is for consumer products, retail, fashion, food, art and more . . . Fluent in English, Swedish and French.

I am also pleased to offer my services as a photographer to the art community, specialising in artworks, art and events. See swedishvanessa.com

There is a shop section where various artworks are available. Please email me for any queries.
