BFA, Graphic Design from Arizona State University : Tempe, AZ USA (1996)

Masters in Education from Linköping University: Linköping, Sweden (2022)

My experience as a creative and visual communicator has been encompassed through careers in the field of graphic design & marketing with various companies from small agencies to a Fortune 500 company in Southern California.

I have run my own branding, design & marketing company in Oxelösund, Sweden called idébyrå+46 where my clients ranged from restaurants to the shipping industry.

I added English communication as a branch of my company and provided English writing, speaking, voiceover and translation services. The moment your company looks to the global market, English becomes necessary as a tool of communication & business. I helped many Swedish companies with various aspects of this to be successful.

I challenged myself as I am a voracious reader and love English to get my Masters degree at age 50 and taught High School English & Art at Sweden's largest High School.

My experience with AIGA as President of the Orange County chapter [2001-2003] helped me grow immensely with my communication & leaderships skills. I was introduced to ICOGRADA thanks to their North American congress in Vancouver in 2002, where I was able to speak on behalf of my chapter of AIGA in Orange County. This became the start of my involvement with ICOGRADA, making global design friends.
