About me

Illustrator & designer

I’m a freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Lund, Sweden. I enjoy working across disciplines, from visual communication for digital and print to project management and teaching. I’m creative at heart, but I love a structured process and when ideas get to grow through collaboration.

Bio

I began my career as a physiotherapist but was always drawn to drawing, illustration and visual design. Over time, I started taking on freelance projects alongside my job and explored different courses in visual communication – a way to keep learning and stay creative.

In 2021, I decided to focus fully on illustration and graphic design and studied at the Berghs School of Communication. Since then, I’ve been working independently with illustration, book design and visual design for clients across Sweden, as well as project management – mainly within print production and exhibitions.

Alongside my freelance work, I also teach at a higher vocational college, where I lecture on creative production processes and graphic design. Teaching keeps me curious and up to date, and I really value the exchange that happens when ideas and experience flow both ways.

My style

I work mainly in Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, combining clean shapes with bold color and a modern, decorative feel. My goal is always to create work that feels clear, expressive and personal, and to collaborate with people who care about their projects as much as I do.

I’m a member of Svenska Tecknare and Illustratörcentrum.

“Maja is a steady anchor in intense projects. She brings both structure and calm, making everyone around her feel that everything is under control while adding a burst of creative energy.”
