I write about design, CSS, animation, and the projects that are keeping me busy.

As the Experience Design Director for Minecraft I worked with the team at Mojang to overhaul their UI infrastructure and design and iterate on new and old Minecraft games.
Early on at Spotify I lead the UI design for all products and worked with building the design team.
I speak at events and facilitate workshops within design, digitalization, and innovation.
I've worked as an Industry Leader at Hyper Island for several years. I've written curriculums, managed courses, and taught programming, design, statistics, data strategy, and rhetorics.
At Lookback I made it easier to conduct user research for digital products.
I'm a jury member for the Swedish Design Awards (Svenska designpriset), working with all digital categories.
At GitHub I worked as a product designer and front-end developer with GitHub.com, the native GitHub client, GitHub Pages, and more.
I love to design and make things. I speak, teach, and consult at tech companies and startups, e.g. Spotify, Minecraft, Volvo, and Hyper Island. Say hi!
