Hi everybody,

I'm a Decorative artist, specialised in Faux Finishing and custom hand-painted design. I currently work for some of the most prestigious Private Residents, Hotels and Museums all over the world. I have also exhibited some of my work all across the globe, such as New York City, Versailles, Chamonix  and Stockholm to mention a few.

I started my journey as a graffiti artist in Sweden. From a young age I have had a love for the arts and especially expressing my creativity through colour. Once my graffiti days were over, I started looking for a "proper" job and this lead me to apply  to one of the most renowned schools of Decorative Arts in Europe. I got accepted and after finishing my degree, I started to work as a decorative finisher. It only took me about a year before I was headhunted by one of the biggest name in the industry. He sponsored me to get a visa to the united states and I lead his team in New York City. This job was one of the best things I have ever done! We worked long hours and the whole team worked really hard to achieve our client's visions, but this is were my passion for teaching was born. My manager was a fantastic teacher, who guided the team on site and in our studio, which really opened my eyes to the wonders of a good teacher.  I was taught a lot of the skills I will share with my students here on this platform. 

After my time in NYC, I relocated to London and now have the whole of Europe as my workplace. The last few years I have taught my London team the skills of faux finishes and I have hosted workshops, short courses and masterclasses all over Europe. During Covid I started creating digital classes, which has lead me to Skillshare. The classes I create here arecompletely unique for the platform and cannot be found anywhere else. 

I'm really exited for you to explore the world of faux finishes, and I can't wait to see what you create.
