ALLO!
My name is Gro Janarv. I graduated from Instituto Europeo di Diseño in Madrid/Barcelona with a BA in Graphic design in July 08. In December 2009 I graduated from the one year MA program in Typeface Design at the University of Reading, UK. Since then I have been working as a graphic designer, both contract and freelance.
For the moment I am working as a Freelance Graphic and Type Designer at
FamiljenPangea as well as teaching Typography at
Södertörn University in Stockholm – but I am on the search for a new job/freelance opportunities for 2012.
Drop me a line if you would like to meet me and have a look at my portfolio IRL! I am always interested in new challenges and collaborations.
I look forward to hearing from you.
SALUDOS DE,
Gro Janarv.
