Hi!
Thank you for stopping by! My name is Tomas and I’m a fiery graphic designer with a love for continuous learning, currently residing in the Swedish city of Malmö.
My journey as a professional designer began with securing a degree in graphic design from Malmö University, followed by a 6-year (and counting!) voyage, exploring the vibrant world of design and creativity.
I'm a designer who likes to mingle the old with the new; a tech-savvy enthusiast who equally cherishes the authentic touch of analog craftsmanship. From the sleek interfaces of digital platforms to the tactile texture of printed designs. Comfortably navigating through the Adobe Suite and many other softwares, I’m also well-versed in the realms of web development and UX/UI design, ensuring that the digital spaces I craft are not just visually pleasing, but user-friendly too.
What truly inspires me, however, is a strategic and purpose-driven approach towards visual language and brand communication. I love the challenge of deciphering the ideal means of speaking to specific audiences and adapting my designs to cater to the unique needs of a brand or project. Every brand has a story, and I’m here to help it be told in the most compelling way.
Feel free to navigate through my portfolio, I have tried to pick a mix of works to showcase my adaptive, strategic, and sometimes just visually appealing design solutions. Let's create something beautiful and impactful together!
