Hello, I’m Jonas Strandell, a Swedish designer and copywriter based in Västerås just outside Stockholm. Back in 2009 I founded Sailors & Mermaids, a studio fueled by rage and bacon… Well no, not really. I am, however, an aficionado of design, typography, a better user experience and common sense.

I swear like a trucker turned sailor on Twitter. I’m a music enthusiast, a certified anglophile, I support a hopeless football team and I publish design snippets over at Dribbble. I am an avid scooter fan, and the 1967 Lambretta Vespa in particular.

Also: Don’t ask me to increase the size of your logo. It’s not an extension of your penis.

By day I work as a designer and copywriter at Pingdom.
