Ylva Sandell portrait

Nice to meet you,

I’m Ylva, Stockholmer turned shapeshifter as a graphic designer, artist and creative. Professional multitasker with a soft spot for playful and personal design. Whether it’s oil painting, plating a home-cooked dish or analyzing boulders in the climbing gym, I’ve always been drawn to composition. As my methods of composing have multiplied, so has my fascination. Playing around with AI and design software is just the beginning. Making ideas come to life is what I do. So hit me with yours!
