Parasto Backman is the founder of Studio Parasto Backman, a Stockholm based graphic design studio. She mixes commissions with self-initiated projects and her clients include art galleries, theaters, publishers, museums, fashion brands, film production companies etc. A central part of Parasto’s work process is about illuminating power structures in order to broaden the palette of graphic design and create space for other forms of expression, logics and references within the field. To go beyond Eurocentric traditions of thinking and making is her consistent baseline in all kinds of project attained. Since a few years back Parasto is also a Senior Lecturer of Visual Communication towards Graphic Design at Konstfack University of Arts, Craft & Design in Stockholm.

Stina Persson is from Sweden and currently resides in a sunny apartment surrounded by trees in Stockholm with her family. Stina draws her inspiration from people and faces around her, from nature, from objects she finds in thrift stores, as well as imperfections and the almost - but not quite - beautiful, to create a fusion of edgy yet traditional imagery. Stina’s extensive client list includes Louis Vuitton, Sony Music, L’Oréal, Redken, H&M, Coca Cola, Absolut Vodka, Godiva, Bloomingdale’s, UNIQLO, DKNY. As well as publishing and editorial clients such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, and Nylon Magazine

After spending close to nine years in the UK, I am now based in Sweden, currently working as a Senior Designer at KurppaHosk in Stockholm.
