But meanwhile I can tell you that I’m a freelancing product developer, designer and artist from Linköping, Sweden – that’s happily travelling around the world for fun and in work.

My main interests are contribution and collaboration in the context of creativity. I make everything from front-end web design to furnitures, electronic devices and music. Digital to analog. Sketching to crafting. Ideas to reality. Basically the whole design process!

I get most of my inspiration from everyday life but also deep spiritual and transcendental experiences, which shows me a way of living or a pattern that’s possible to engage in. Personal growth, consciousness and deep exploration is something I’ve always found interesting while it’s developing and reflecting my art and design in many ways.

Currently I’m full time employed at Östergötlands Museum, but I have the ability to do small projects aside. If you got an idea you think I can realize for you, don’t hesitate to get in contact with me!
