  Owner

  After moving to a small city in Sweden to study, I had limited possibilities to pursue a creative career. I found a gap in the market where I could use my skills as a photo retoucher and set up my own business to serve international clients and ad agencies. After years of following my passion, I decided to leave my business behind in Sweden to work full time in Luxembourg.
