GENERAL INFO

My name is Josephine. I'm a Swedish illustrator, letterer and pattern designer. I live in southern Stockholm with my one-year-old son Elvin and his father. When I'm not spending time with my lovely family I'm either doing client work or experimenting with a personal project. I always have something going. Vegan cooking is another passion of mine, which is one of the reasons I love drawing food so much. Bold colors and shapes with decorative lines is something you will find a lot of in my work. I also tend to add some texture, I love textures.
