"Johan is an absolute machine. We came to him with a clear message but a loose design brief, basically just “make my website look expensive,” and he nailed it. The result was a beautiful website we were excited to share before it was even finished. Working with him was so smooth, fast, and he made the whole process feel effortless. The response from clients has been amazing. Would work with him again in a heartbeat."

"Johan and I worked together on several fast-paced design consulting projects. He's an incredible designer: Strong conceptual skills, technical understanding, and also very fast and meticulous in execution. Maybe most importantly, though: He is so nice. He's super easy to work with, even under pressure and in stressful situations. I consider myself lucky for having had the opportunity to work with Johan and would recommend him to anyone who needs a high caliber designer!"
Tim Höfer

''I thought I was ok at running a workshop until I realised there are master facilitators who are expertly trained, and workshopping is what they do. Johan is one of these. He helped guide and facilitate a workshop for me resulting in clear actions paving the way forward. It was great to finish a workshop as planned without needing more meetings to discuss the same things again."
