My name is Elise Björner and I’m an art director/graphic designer based in Stockholm, Sweden. 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 with marketing material, visual identities and photo shoots for several global 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 have been working on a freelance basis and have broadened my skill set to include motion design.
