The world has yet to be conquered.
I'm trying to slowly visit all the places on my bucket list.
.. only challenge is that the list keeps growing day by day.

Working remote enables you to commute into work from new places ever so often. In that sense, I love commuting! Taking occational pictures is of course a given. All the people and cultures you get to see is amazing.

Travel is the juice that keeps me going. All the places and the people I haven't met yet. So excited to see and meet them all!
I actually really love long walks. It clears your head and gives you time to think things through. No beaches in Tokyo tho, but lots of green walk paths.
Yeah. If it's not fun/exciting/teachable, it's probably not worth doing. Like when we drove from Sweden to Mongolia in a tiny car. That was all of the above.
I’m a freelance graphic designer based in Tokyo with over 20 years experience in Digital & Graphic Design.
I'm a strong believer that you should always be transparent with your clients. Each relationship should be built on trust. Having fun with your client, and feel that you're in a position where you can both call bullshit if it appears is key.
All my clients have become my friends.
My area of focus lies in designing web (and mobile products) as well as leading of design & front-end teams. I enjoy designing and coding the UI as much as talking with users to iterate and improve the experiences that reach business goals.
When it comes to implementing the designs I create, I can't shut up about CSSgrid and ExpressionEngine. I also do graphic profiles and communications platforms.
Most fun is when I get to do them all in one project.
Born in Sweden, grew up in a little town called Landskrona.
I went to school in Helsingborg, where I met a cool dude whom I later started a comic with and also started the best communication agency in the world.
But, before starting the best communication agency in the world, I was involved in building and designing the first and biggest online newspaper in Denmark and also design the largest online community in Sweden, called Playahead (RIP).
Together with my awesome friend (and another awesome friend + a couple of employees), we ran the best communication agency in the world for 12 years. Then, it was time for me to move back to my wife's home country, and set up shop in Tokyo.
Said and done, 2021, during the pandemic, we moved to Japan.
So, I'm still creating the comic 3 times/week, and help the best communication agency in the world out if they need me, while running reizōko and enjoying life.
Don’t be scared… if it helps, this is how you pronounce my name,
Pontus — I hope to hear from you!
