After establishing a successful illustration and teaching career in Stockholm, Laura moved to New York City, where she quickly found work with high-end department stores, magazines, and design firms, including The Museum of Modern Art, Bergdorf Goodman, "The New Yorker," and "Dwell." Her first children's book was published in 2001, and many more have followed. For MoMA's collaboration with Chronicle Books, Laura has designed Art While You Eat placemats and the Play Town cityscape set. Laura's vibrant, modern style has earned her many awards and international acclaim. Laura lives with her husband and daughter in a 100-year old brownstone in Brooklyn, NY.
