KRISTOFFER FAGERSTRÖM
I was born 1975 in Stockholm the capitol of Sweden.
I have always ended up where my aesthetic talents has taken me.
Graphic designer, illustrator, digital restoration artist, award winning special effects designer at feature films and numerous music videos are some of my previous occupations.
After a few years of traveling, I took the leap from two-dimensional design to exploring the world of three-dimensional design and in 2009 I graduated as an interior architect from Konstfack – University College of Arts, Crafts and Design. Since my graduation, I have worked in different design constellations and have been awarded with the Design Destinction Award at I.D’s Annual Design Review 2010 and was appointed Designrocket of 2009 by the Swedish-based Trendgruppen.
Today I work as designer for the buzzing Note Design Studio, where my creativity is nurtured through an extraordinarily open minded design management. Remaining time is spent on my small family of three.
-”Feed your talent and learn something new in each project. Take your time and have fun, playful form is created through serious work… and vice versa!”
