Hello there, a quick introduction might be in order

I’m Jonas, a designer at heart who somehow ended up as a CMO. My childhood dream was drawing comics, which evolved into a love for design and storytelling that’s turned me into a well-sought-after Swiss army knife for companies worldwide.

In my previous life I did creative work for Ben Sherman, Sega Games, MTV, Chupa Chups, SVT, and many more. I’ve served as CMO, Chief Product Officer, and Designer at Pingdom, Dooer, Lavendla, and Besedo.

When I’m not marketing (that really should be a verb), I dedicate way too much time to music and movies – on an almost unhealthy, obsessive level.

I dream of owning a vineyard someday. Because if you’re going to dream, dream big enough to need irrigation systems.
