KLARNA
KLARNA
Klarna wanted to bring its bold, design-forward identity to life for US audiences.
I led visual execution across social campaigns-from concept through delivery-helping the brand grow recognition and engagement in a crowded market.
Partnering with strategists, copywriters, and external artists, I reimagined underperforming series and built fresh visual systems that elevated Klarna's look and voice, driving 487M impressions and 4.1M engagements across organic, paid, and influencer content.

My Role
I led art direction from concept through post across major releases, evergreen content, and feature rollouts. I developed modular templates that scaled globally, directed studio shoots and talent capture, and translated Spotify's identity into platform-specific formats.
The Challenge:
Spotify's refreshed visual identity had been designed for out-of-home and in-app experiences, not for social. I needed to adapt the system for social in a way that felt true to the brand while staying native to platform behavior.
For Audiobooks and Podcasts, the challenge was building awareness that Spotify wasn't just music.

The Desire Series
In an effort to create visuals that resonated
with Klarna’s visionary audience, we created
the Desire Series; a set of Instagram Stories,
in which we presented Klarna objects
in uniquely created environments.
The Klarna team saw a natural fit with 3D artist, Peter Tarka. We reached out to him, and had him design 3 paradise spaces for us. Each room including objects that were available through Klarna.

highlighting the subtle placement of each Klarna item featured.

Smooothest of the Week Redesign
After six months of Klarna's "Smooothest of the Week" Instagram Stories series, I led a creative refresh based on performance data.
The original format—weekly polls with random imagery—lacked thematic clarity and engagement depth.

Merchant Round-Up
The Weekly Instagram Stories highlighting Klarna merchants needed
an overhaul. I rebuilt the series with a flexible template system that
balanced product visibility with Klarna's playful aesthetic.
