I'm Alexandre Westerlund, owner of Westerlund Design. Born in Lisbon, Portugal, I relocated to the Swedish countryside twenty years ago to Järna, a move that deepened my connection to the values-driven work I do today.

Since then, I’ve been drawn to values-driven organisations that work toward positive change in the world. What started as a personal commitment to values-driven work has evolved into specialised expertise helping purpose-based organisations communicate their most important ideas to broader audiences without losing depth or authenticity.

I believe graphic design should do more than look good—it should serve meaningful causes. That is why I’ve chosen to align my practice with organisations working in ecology, sustainability, spirituality, and social impact. When your purpose matters, your communication deserves the same level of commitment.

My background combines formal design training with genuine passion for the subjects my clients work in. I approach each project as both designer and engaged learner, taking time to understand the principles and nuances that matter to your field. This isn’t just professional curiosity, it’s personal investment in the work itself.

I have had the privilege of working in-house with organisations like Demeter Sweden and the Swedish Biodynamic Association, giving me insider perspective on the communication challenges values-driven organisations face. This experience taught me that effective design for purpose-based work requires more than aesthetic sensibility. It demands understanding the culture, values, and genuine challenges these organisations navigate daily.

The result is design that doesn’t just communicate your message, it amplifies your mission. When organisations trust me with their most complex communication challenges, they’re not just hiring design skills. They are partnering with someone who genuinely understands why their work matters and how design can help it reach the people who need to hear it.
