Lollo & Bernie - I Solens land
Client: Ving, Bookmark
Location: Stockholm
In this exciting project, I was entrusted with reimagining the beloved characters Lollo and Bernie to fit a brand-new children’s book series.

The project covered a full-color picture book, a board book, and an interactive activity pack, all set in the vibrant and imaginative world of Solens land.
Through playful illustrations and expressive character work, I helped bring Lollo and Bernie’s new world to life — a world where friendship, curiosity, and discovery are at the heart of every adventure.

In this dynamic project for Variphy, my role involved working with both existing brand characters and developing new mascots to expand and enrich Variphy’s visual identity.

Astra & Milo Discover Space
Personal project
Location: Stockholm
Astra & Milo Discover Space is a children’s book that introduces young readers to basic concepts in space physics and astronomy in a playful, safe, and engaging way. Through a story-driven approach that blends facts with humor and interactive activities, children get to explore phenomena such as gravity, galaxies, and black holes.
The story follows Astra, a curious rabbit, and her friend Milo, a mischievous red panda, on an adventurous journey through space. The book is designed to spark children’s natural curiosity while creating an emotional connection to both the characters and the scientific content, where learning happens through joy, recognition, and participation.
This first title serves as a foundation for introducing children to other areas of science in future books — such as evolution, geology, and biology — making complex topics accessible and engaging at an early age.

In this special project, I had the honor of working with Lilla spöket Laban, one of Sweden’s most beloved children’s book characters. My role focused on creating and designing new covers for upcoming titles, including a picture book, a board book, and a lift-the-flap board book.
In addition to cover design, I contributed by making modifications inside the books and adding objects and elements where needed to align with the manuscript and support the storytelling.
