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 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.
