My name is Elise Björner and I’m a brand designer and graphic designer based in Stockholm. I studied Advertising Art Direction at Berghs School of Communication, and already at that time knew I mostly wanted to work with clients within lifestyle, fashion and culture. As a former professional dancer, I wanted to use my understanding and appreciation of the cultural world and cross-fertilize it with my knowledge and interest in branding. But I don’t like to be limited to those types of brands – my curiosity reaches further than that. I’ve worked across graphic design and graphic production, with experience in concept development, photo shoots, packaging, and content and performance marketing assets for both global and local brands. Brands I’ve worked with include but are not limited to, Absolut Vodka, Kahlua, Klarna, H&M, Interview Magazine, ATG, TetraPak, TRIWA, Mastercard, Heidelberg Materials, and Rebecca Stella Beauty. Inspired by my participation as a designer at Google’s Tech Start-up Incubator in New York, I joined Kry, the biggest provider of digital healthcare in Europe, as a full-time graphic designer. Since 2021, I’ve been working freelance, expanding my work to include motion design and visual identities.
