Bio
Elin Frendberg
Sofia-Li is an extremely talented creative and analyst with an eye for all aspects, nuances and details of art, fashion and popular culture.
Sofia Jergner Ekervik
Working closely with Sofia-Li is not only a great pleasure, but has taught me a lot about the many disciplines and skills you need to master in the role of a Creative Director. Sofia-Li is a multifaceted professional with an impressive working experience and expertise in many areas of design and craftsmanship. One of Sofia-Li’s main strengths as a project coordinator is that she is always being attentive to her team, making sure that everyone is being seen and heard, and credited for their hard work. She has a sharp eye for identifying young and upcoming talent and is constantly encouraging different ways of thinking. The large amount of care, interest and detail she puts into each project is something that has from the first day of working together inspired me in my own professional career. Something that has to be added as a final note in my recommendation to anyone who will have the joy of working with Sofia-Li is her amazing sense of humour.
