I grew up in the deep Swedish forest between two lakes with an agronomist as a father and a biologist as a mother. Together they were building their dream life: a red wooden house, surrounded by nature and a self sufficient garden. Foraging and fishing was a big and important part of my childhood.

I started my cooking career with 13 years in a local restaurant. When I turned 21 I was seeking new experiences and wanted to expand my horizon in the culinary world, so I moved to Zurich.

In 2017 the opportunity came to return to the north of Sweden to work at Fäviken Magasinet. I got deeply inspired by the work of Magnus Nilsson. Not alone by his cooking but also about the conversation he pushed in the industry about sustainability.

In 2020 I became head chef and part owner at Restaurant Josef in Zurich. With passion and enthusiasm we create seasonal contemporary European dishes and provide a sustainable environment for our staff.
