In brief, I come from Sweden but spent nine years of my childhood in Budapest, Hungary where I went to an American international school. It was there, in 2010, that I discovered my passion for photography.

 

I remember obsessively researching cameras and photography gear before deciding to make the largest purchase decision of my life at the time, the Nikon D3100. I would like to believe that the tens of thousands of photographs I captured with this camera taught me the fundamentals of photography, but the truth is, I am still learning and refining my style.

​

I attended college at St. John's University in Minnesota where I  studied everything from rhetoric to computer science. Having only ever been to the U.S.A. one time before on a family vacation to NYC, it was a culture shock moving to the Mid-West but one that I came to love.

 

During college, I joined a hiking club which took me on incredible camping trips across the country. I also traveled to Nepal to make the trek to the base camp of Mt. Everest, after a six-month study abroad program in India.

 

After graduating from St. John's with a degree in Economics in 2017, I moved back to Europe for work as part of a rotational finance leadership program in the Telecoms industry. I was based one year each in Amsterdam, London and Dublin. Unsurprisingly, it was in the Netherlands where I discovered my passion for cycling. It hasn't stopped since. My aspiration is to one day cycle around the world.
