Actress and director Johanna was born in Stockholm and she graduated from The Kogan Academy of Dramatic Arts in London with a BA (Hons) in Acting and Directing. Whilst there, Johanna directed scenes from Macbeth, West Side Story, Miss Julie and Journey’s End by R. C. Sherriff. Once she graduated, she discovered a passion for writing so she and a fellow actor set up their own film company Wrang Productions with the aim to create films that will help close the gender gap in the film industry by focusing on female Directors, Writers and other Creatives. Together they wrote and produced their first feature film Eufemier which tells the story of a worn-out writer from Stockholm who goes to the countryside to recharge and whilst there, meets mysterious forest people. Eufemier was shot on location in Stockholm and Åland and is currently in post-production.

For theatre, Johanna directed Mike Leigh’s Abigail’s Party on the London Fringe and she directed the show Frights Nights (a collection of short horror stories) which was performed at The Camden Fringe. She then returned to Stockholm and worked on two documentary films: Till minne av Gösta Ekman directed by Jane Magnusson and Zlatan - for Sweden directed by Leo Razzak which have both been broadcast on Swedish television.

Johanna has played Titania in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Sonya in Uncle Vanya, Margot Frank in The Diary of Anne Frank, Lily in Men Should Weep and Terry in Extremities. She also appeared in the Appletiser commercial Crown Your Moments and in the trailer for the TV Series Deep State.  Most recently, she played the Enchantress in the adult version of Beauty & The Beast at The Omnibus Theatre where she was also the Assistant Director. She is currently developing the short film Love Birds and she is co-writer and lead actor for both LTK’s The Switcheroo and The Switch.
