About
Hi! I’m Rikard Köhler, an Art Director based in Stockholm, currently at .Monks. I’m passionate about crafting innovative, human-centered creative solutions that resonate. My journey started in journalism, which eventually led me to visual storytelling and advertising.
I thrive in every phase of a project, from ideation to execution. Whether it’s animating in After Effects, pushing pixels in Photoshop, or conceptualizing groundbreaking campaigns, I approach every challenge with optimism, structure, and a knack for collaboration.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me behind the lens, honing my photography skills and exploring new ways to tell compelling stories.
Let’s create something amazing together!
