About us
Lottisson
Design
Lottis Karlsson has owned and operated Lottisson Design since 1994. The design studio started by manufacturing high-quality and hand-painted signs, decorations and murals for shops and restaurants from Stockholm to Vladivostok.
The business developed in step with the customers' wishes and today we do everything in graphic design such as; graphic profiles, logos (comprehensive graphic concepts), illustrations, signs, murals, printed matter, neon/diode signs, window decorations - in other words, most everything in design.
Lottisson design is flexible and customer-oriented and adapts its expertise to the needs of the customer.
Our strength is that we can work both digitally and traditionally (hand-drawn/painted) and also do illustrations for coloring books, notebooks, e-learning etc. and in different styles.
When time allows and the desire strikes, Lottis organizes art exhibitions etc. around the country, such as the series "Quinnor and burlesque essence". Large acrylic paintings that have also been made as smaller reproductions (Art prints) that are available for purchase in the webshop.
Recently there have been “city posters” and more are in the works.

Ryan
Kingsley
Ryan Kingsley has built a career that bridges technology, design, and education.
Ryan is a designer, artist, and teacher who thrives at the intersection of structure and style.
His path has always been guided by curiosity. While his formal education in Australia was rooted in mathematics and computer science, after a move to London, Ryan dove straight into the international fashion industry. This unique start allowed him to develop a real-world sensibility for aesthetics, advertising and effective communication, proving that great marketing and design starts with both technical skill and creative thinking. This creative foundation naturally informed his next step into teaching, IT management and consultancy, where technical expertise truly met visual thinking.
Today, Ryan applies his dual perspective to everything he does—from web design and branding to illustration and educational media. His strength lies in working comfortably across digital and traditional media, always looking for the human connection that links technology, creativity, and personal growth.
Learning is a fundamental value. Whether he's mentoring students at Stockholm International School or collaborating on creative projects with his own children, Ryan views education as a shared, lifelong process.
In his studio, he explores this connection between art, learning, and innovation through the ongoing Mentor’s Mindset series. This body of work uses mixed media and digital tools to visualize ideas about growth, reflection, and creative thinking, directly embodying his experience as both an educator and an artist.
