Welcome to my portfolio.
My name is Johanna Astrén and I’m a creative professional based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Educated in design, illustration and graphic arts technologies and experience from working at advertising agencies and marketing departments during the last ten years.
I create and produce graphic design for a wide range of purposes: logotypes and visual branding, catalogues and brochures, books and covers, retail and store campaigns, packaging, commercial products and websites. I also do commissioned illustration work for magazines, books, digital devices and various kinds of commercial projects. Designing and creating patterns is also something I can confidently do if given the opportunity.
I’m a member of the Association of Swedish Illustrators and Graphic Designers. You can also find me at Illustratörcentrum, Instagram and Pinterest.
