art director / senior advertising creative
Martin Welander

Hello, I'm Martin 👋

I am a versatile senior advertising creative with over ten years of experience working in different creative agencies.

I studied as a conceptual advertising art director at Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, Sweden, and I enjoy coming up with ideas and concepts for brands. I still love working directly with the tools and applying my skills.

I like solving problems and my curiosity pushes me to keep learning and improving.
