Josefin Lidh

Illustrator, designer & visual artist

Iโ€™m a freelancing illustrator, UX/UI/graphic designer and visual artist based in Linkรถping, ร–stergรถtland, Sweden. Born and raised in Vรคrnamo, Smรฅland. I work with a variety of companies, organisations and design agencies but also with magazines, publishers, brands and smaller businesses.

In the field of illustration I offer a variety of styles and I enjoy playing with colors, shapes and textures using both analogue and digital tools. My style is often characterised by a playful and colourful tone but I always customise each project based on desired needs. My work ranges from educational, editorial, commercial and branding, to murals, comics, books, iconography, animation and my own printed products. I would love to work even more with children's illustration, animation, pattern design and murals.

Through my art, I explore what it means to be human - the surroundings, everyday life and the people living it. I get inspiration from what I see around me, often in small details which others might overlook. When I create, I strive to have a playful approach where excitement is the driving force. In a world that can easily feel threatening, stressful and overwhelming, I hope, with my pictures, to be able to contribute to lifting and lightening up, as well as to create relatable moments.
