About Me

I was born 1988 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Here I attended elementary, high school, and higher education programs.
My first work experience was also near Gothenburg.
After spending a few years working within logistics, I moved on to study language in South Korea for a year, before rediscovering my interest and passion for game making, which lead to applying for a 4-year program in the Netherlands dedicated to game design.
After a few years Norway, I again reside in my hometown of Gothenburg. Here I’m eager to continue my game developer ventures, now in the form of programing.

What else is there to say about me? I meditate by folding clothes, I love learning new recipes (both food and cocktails), I appreciate nature if dragged to where it is, and I care too much about the people around me.

Inspirations & Aspirations

A major inspiration for me is language. I’m the type of person who can’t stop myself from looking up the etymology of new words I come across. I’m endlessly fascinated by the relationship between different languages and origins of phrases.

Architecture is another sources of inspiration, an interest born out of my brief time studying art history as a young adult. Both as art and in terms of design principles, architecture is a place I draw ideas from.

My foremost goal in my career as a game developer is to reach a position where I and those around me motivate each other to achieve things we are truly passionate about, all while staying healthy.
I’m comfortable both as a jack-of-all-trades and when I get to nerd out on a very specific part of development.
