  • Nov 2020 - Present

  I'm leading the work on our exciting Wi-Fi multiroom speakers, the Defunc HOME. The speakers come in two sizes, small and large, with a bunch of neat accessories: wall and corner mounts, a floor stand, interchangeable fronts, and custom print fronts. Apart from managing the development of the speakers and accessories, I also designed the consumer boxes, manuals, marketing material, etc. It's been very important to produce eco-friendly products as we try to move away from plastic as much as possible. Can we use ocean plastic in our speakers in the future? We hope so! In any case, it's been a great challenge so far and I've learned a lot. I'm very grateful for the team that has worked with me on this, and I do believe that we've created something special. Show less

• Art Director

  • May 2018 - Nov 2020

  At Defunc, I get to carry many hats. I'm in charge of all the art that leaves HQ and I also help with product design e.g. make sure that the audio in our products are of the highest quality possible considering the limitations, and I get to beta test all our new products and add improvements. I'm also shooting lifestyle images and project lead other photographers when we hire them. I created our successful popup store at NK and maintained defunc.com for a while. And hey, doing Powerpoint presentations isn't perhaps the most fun in the world, but you do what you have to do to make the company successful, right? Show less

Atom Communication

• Graphic Designer and Photographer

  • Aug 2003 - Apr 2014

  Atom Communication was a communications agency I worked at for 11 years. We started out as IBM's in-house agency and worked exclusively with marketing material for IBM. When our contract was renegotiated, we were able to work with other clients as well. The first six years, I focused mainly on print material, but the demand for photography and film increased over time and so my duties varied between the three after that. Customers I worked with: IBM, Xylem, DePuy Synthes, Forum Syd, Nordic Processor, Viaplay, National Geographic, Projectplace, Erfator and Lucky Ellen. Show less
