About me

Growing up in a small village outside of Kalmar a lot of my time went to being creative with my brothers. We used to spend hours creating characters, fantasy worlds, games, and more and I kind of never outgrew it.

Around the age of 10, I got totally hooked the first time I stumbled upon an episode of YU-GI-OH on our TV and quickly started to create my own cards for me and my brothers. We only got stuff during Christmas and birthdays so if I wanted something I had to make it by myself
Since I didn't know the rules I made up my own and the more cards I made the more it started to feel like a totally new game. 

At around the age of 19, I got another big change in my life when I got introduced to Magic The Gathering. This was everything I had ever dreamt of and I got very passionate about it. 
As a competitive human, I loved the fact that I could travel around Europe competing in tournaments and for about 4 years of my life I only Worked, slept, and traveled to Magic tournaments. 

But my love to create games outgrew my love to play them and I started to switch my focus to designing again. One game that has always been on my shelf was Squirrel Island and around 2017 I started to put a lot more effort to make it as good as possible by working hard with my brother Robin we finally finished it in 2022. 

I discovered my love for digital games later than most developers I would guess. But after trying out treasures like Portal, Borderlands, and Storybook Brawl I realized I wanted to work with games professionally. 

I'm very excited about the next step in my life and can't wait to create many more projects going forward. 

Thank you for reading.
