What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling?
I’d be studying just like nowadays and might have an extra job at a café instead of going to Stockholm for the weekends.

What’s something uncool that you love anyway?
I’ve always loved painting but I’ve lost the patience and I never have the time to just sit down and paint. Too bad!

Favorite modeling experience so far?
One of my first shoots, for Scandinavia SSAW in a snowy animal park here in Sweden!

What’s the best thing about your hometown/country?
The Swedish summers are magical, especially the archipelago of the West Coast where I live.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
I think that working for any brand is a great and fun experience and I feel so lucky to be a part of it! But a dream would be to work with the really big ones. Like Chanel, Burberry, Prada and so on! That would be amazing!

Place you would love to visit:
visit: I’d love to go on a road trip across America to explore the different states and people! I’d also love to visit countries with an extraordinary nature like the rain forests in South America or the Great Barrier Reef.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
Sneakers! Now when spring is here I love buying them. I’ve also got a thing for Snapchat at the moment, haha love it!
