FREELANCE - PHOTOGRAPHER // CREATIVE // MARKETER // PAINTER
Hi my name is
Philip!
I am a visionary entrepreneur and creative director based in Gothenburg, Sweden, dedicated to shaping the future of sustainable living, food production, and cultural innovation. With a foundation in photography, marketing, and design, I blend creative storytelling with strategic leadership to drive transformative projects at the intersection of green technology, urban development, and cultural branding.
As founder of La Mer Nordique, a content agency and lifestyle brand, I lead creative initiatives that amplify visionary ideas through photography, film, and immersive experiences such as curated photo walks. I collaborate closely with the architecture firm Greenhouse Living to influence new, sustainable urban environments — creating narratives and concepts that bring future-focused communities to life.
I’m also a part-owner in diverse ventures that reflect my commitment to regenerative and sustainable business models: Studio Torn (tattoo studio), Mikrogården (microgreens cultivation), Syntropia (regenerative projects collective), and I work closesly with Odlingsbolaget Svalan, a leader in innovative urban farming.
My background includes senior marketing roles at Hasselblad and Skullcandy, where I honed my skills in brand strategy and storytelling. Represented by Johner Images, my photography has been featured internationally, bridging art and communication.
As a vegan and advocate for conscious living, I integrate sustainability and ethics into all facets of my work. I am passionate about leading cross-disciplinary teams to envision and execute large-scale projects that redefine how we grow, live, and connect.
I speak publicly on creativity, marketing, sustainability, and life, inspiring audiences to embrace future-forward thinking.

Lecturer
I'm a multi-creative marketer, photographer, and entrepreneur based in Gothenburg, Sweden. With a career that bridges photography, marketing, art, and brand-building, I bring rich, real-world insight to every talk. As a freelance creative, I work across photography, film, design, painting, and strategic marketing—always driven by authenticity and minimalism.
I'm the founder of La Mer Nordique, a creative agency that also runs popular photo walks, and I'm part-owner of several ventures: Studio Törn (a tattoo studio), Mikrogården (a microgreens company), and Syntropia (a regenerative project and business collective).
With past marketing roles at Hasselblad and Skullcandy, I offer a grounded, behind-the-scenes perspective on branding and visual communication. As a speaker, I share personal and professional stories from the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship, and life—always with heart, humor, and depth.
