Info
Originally from Sweden, Elin Svensson graduated from the London College of Communication in 2008 and is currently based in East London, working as part of the multi-disciplinary creative studio Åh.
I strive to combine thoughtful ideas with informed aesthetics to create functional design that reaches out to both the head and the heart. Applied across all disciplines to include art direction, illustration, branding, website design, motion graphics, model making and other printed matter, my approach to work is open and collaborative.
Alongside my work with Åh, I work on a freelance basis and is available for commission.
If you’d like to talk to me about a project, collaborate or request further information about any of the work you see here; please get in touch.
