Campari. The passionate red liqueur depicted in moody bars with expensive marble counters, fronted by young handsome George Clooney's being chased by dreamlike women in tight dresses and red lipstick. But what if it was put in a different context, can it still stay true to the Campari brand? What if that context is: an old man, sitting alone in his little red working-class house, thinking about his past and the love of his life.
It turns out that this context did stay true to the brand, because the film won the Campari Film Challenge and got featured in Stockholm Film Festival.
When all recruiting companies embodies the aesthetic which I call "crisp office porn". Where people dresses casual formal, have a mug in hand and point laughing at their screens. Their work seems to be just perfect, because it's obviously not staged... But believing in zigging when everyone is zagging, I set the course for Embedded Skills a little differently, fashioning a more natural brand.
So I made them to be more imperfectly perfect.
If a brand wants to be depicted as something natural, local and raw, like it was coming directly from the elements of the Nordics. Like the ice cold hillsides from the north, the proud pine trees in forests or along the rocky archipelago of the nordic sea. How do we say it without being obvious, how can we tell it between the lines. While making something truly inspirational.
Well the only thing we had to do, was to lift up the Nordic heritage of Brämhults.
The Nudient brand was about to launch their new case, a thicker and much juicier case, made with soft to the touch silicon and metal details. The product was unique to the market. So they wanted to convey the message: Dare to be bold. So who else to capture it better than Omar Rudberg, the young superstar seen in the Netflix series Young royals.
The art direction is existing in contrasts: Roughness and softness. Masculine and feminine. Saturation and desaturation. Embracing the ordinance: Opposites attract.

At the same time being on my internship, I entered a competition to make a short film interpreting the Campari brand. I worked day at FWB agency, while working nights and weekend on the short film. In a rush the film was done, but the Jury liked the video. And got featured in Stockholm film festival, at Biograf Park.
As a student of Hyper Island I entered a 48-hour design sprint, competing against 50 international teams. The competition was arranged by the Swedish fashion brand Indiska. Our concept: A automated color identifying tool that enables users to discover their unique color palette.
Still a student of Hyper Island I entered my second design sprint. This one a national competition arranged by the public company SOS-alarm. Our concept: a AI conversational app to combat loneliness and mental health issues.
