Born and raised by a single artist parent, I grew up in art museums, galleries, art schools, and my mom’s studio - aka our home (including the family car).
Got positively terrified, and left to pursue a more “sustainable” way to make a living. Travelled the world, concept developing, innovating, strategising, leading big commercial projects, earning plenty. Got bored. Missed art.
Went back to uni, immersed myself in childhood memories, art history and visual culture. Started my art career, as some would say, a grown-up woman. Worked for a gallery in London, a museum in Sweden, a British artist in Copenhagen, and most recently, curated the public programme and off-site exhibitions for a few years at the leading art fair in the Nordics.
These past years have ignited my passion for curation. Here I am, throwing myself in at the deep end - going freelance in the art world. Driven by the belief that more people out there share my conviction that art can, and must, serve as a means, a vehicle, and an accelerator towards a more inclusive, enlightened, compassionate and (hopefully) real quirky society.
PROFILE
Curator, researcher and cultural strategist working across contemporary art, society and lived experience. My practice is driven by a simple question: how can art make us give a shit about each other, our environment and the time we live in?
I see art as both a mirror and a mechanism: reflecting the world we share while creating new ways of seeing, sensing and relating to it. My work spans exhibitions, public programmes, research and cultural projects, with a focus on perception, participation and social sustainability.
Before moving into the arts, I spent more than a decade working internationally in innovation, concept development and strategy for COS, Inter IKEA Systems, HAY and SPACE10. I now bring that experience into my independent curatorial practice.

I spent a week assisting Kaikkonen, attaching hundreds of recycled shirts forming a shape of a flower, which points towards the historical consistency of humanity’s basic needs, regardless of period, cultural paradigm or environmental conditions.
