Pay attention, I'm about to reveal two of my characteristics for free!

I’m a continuous learner. I enjoy discovering new things and follow topics like sustainability and global politics—try me, I’ll know the latest ;). Every project is a chance to grow knowledge and skills, rethink my approach, and come up with smarter, more creative solutions.

Let's get on the same page! This is the news I am following at this moment:

I’m also very detail-oriented. For me, the magic is in how everything fits together—clear communication, a strong visual style, and consistency across the board. That’s what makes a project feel professional and complete.

What does Mats add to a team?

In teams, I usually take the role of ‘project manager’. I organise work, refine ideas, and keep things on track. I value shared responsibility, clear communication, and a good dose of fun. If there’s a gap in responsibility, I’ll step in, only to then help everyone get back in their roles.

This is my design mindset and some of my skills!

When designing, I always ask: “Will this really make a difference?” I believe small ideas can grow into something big, with global impact. That mindset keeps me focused and motivated.

A skill I bring to the table is that I can easily learn and speak languages. Being able to speak (some words in) the languages available on my website (did you not try it out yet?!) gives me a head start in building international relationships and seeing the world through a wider lens.

Lastly, in my work, I blend creativity and informality with professionalism. Through graphic design—like posters, slides, websites—I turn ideas into clear, engaging visuals that bring initiatives to life, both for stakeholders as well as the broader audience.
