Hej!
I'm August, a danish creative born in Copenhagen. The weather in Copenhagen is often pretty wet and windy. That’s why I decided to move to Stockholm. It doesn’t rain that much around here, but on the other hand it’s really cold and snowy. Most of the time thats's okay, since I spend all day working indoor at Kurppa Hosk Communications or climbing (also indoor).
Have a look at my work and let’s have a chat.
Maybe about the weather.
