About me

Hej! I’m Sophie. I am a Swede who was raised in Belgium. I’m currently a designer at AKQA. With a background in the theatre arts and film industry, I am a naturally curious and highly motivated person who loves to create, innovate and tell stories. My time living in three different countries across the continent has been key in shaping the open-minded person I am today. I cherish and embrace difference; understanding the need to challenge convention and to promote newer and more exciting ways in which we choose to communicate with the world. // SK.
