Kopi has been asleep on my legs for the past two hours, so while I should really be asleep I am instead awake writing this. Future-Saga will not be happy about this, but Present-Saga sure is! — Spring has finally begun and the city is starting to fill up with sunlight, cherry blossoms and a growing line to… Continue reading Oh, Hello Spring!

Not Being Afraid and Being Alive
While biking home this week I’ve been thinking quite a lot about the bombings in Brussels. Having been there only two weeks earlier, and living only a few hours away, it feels strangely unreal and close. Talking to my parents on the phone, my mom said something that she’s told me and my brother since we were young: “There is no… Continue reading Not Being Afraid and Being Alive
It's March Already? – TLDR
Right now, my life is in that running state. You know, when you seem to be always running but never really catching up with whatever is in front of you? Below you’ll get a recap of the past four weeks. For you to survive the block of text I promise there will be both cat and food… Continue reading It's March Already? – TLDR
So, What's the Weather Like?
One of the most Swedish things to talk about is the weather. Feel tree to think that I’m silly, but I’ve always been interested in the weather.

I have yet to go to a music festival, but during the last few years I’ve really started to like light festivals. Growing up in… Continue reading Light at Night
The Return of the Blog
Back in 2007, my brother started a website for me and said: “Hey, here’s your blog! Write something.” This site has changed purpose and looks numerous times since then, but lately it’s been blog-less. Let’s change that. My name’s Saga and I’m a Swede, currently working as an interaction designer in Amsterdam. I like doodling characters and… Continue reading The Return of the Blog
Taronga Zoo
Role: Illustration The Project At CATC I was given the brief to create four stamps for Australia Post. My Approach Creating illustrations that would work in such a small format was a new challenge to me. Choosing Taronga Zoo as my theme I integrated famous Sydney buildings, symbolising us humans, and combined it with different animals at the zoo. This… Continue reading Taronga Zoo
Captured
Role: Illustration & packaging The Project At CATC I was given the brief to create an identity for a fictional cookie company. My Approach I decided to make cookies for fantasy and role-playing gamers. I created a logotype, a graphic identity, packaging and playing cards. Final Packaging The die-cuts in the cookie box symbolise bars, bars that will keep the cookies… Continue reading Captured
