Amanda Berglund

I'm an illustrator and graphic designer living in Malmö, Sweden. I’ve been working with editorial illustration for a wide variety of Swedish and international journals, magazines and newspapers, both in print and online ever since graduating from Konstfack in 2017, where I received my bachelor’s degree in illustration and graphic design. Topics especially close to my heart are ecology, social justice, women's history, music, film, literature and culture in general. I've also illustrated a number of books, Kvinnosaker, Being Beautiful and Pups in the Pictures

Aside from my commissioned work, I also maintain an artistic practice where I primarily work with gouache painting and linoleum printing. Some of these end up as prints over at Bukett Butik.

When I’m not illustrating I work on various graphic design projects with Bukett Grafik, the studio I run with my partner Erik.
