Hi and welcome to my portfolio! I'm a Fullstack-developer and UX-designer from Gothenburg who has a passion for problem solving and sharing my ideas with anyone that's listening! Have a look around and feel free to contact me!
About Me
I've never been good at picking just one thing. I grew up with a paintbrush in hand, learned to paint, knit, and sew alongside my family, and I'm still chasing that same feeling: doing something just because it's fun, not because it has to be perfect.
That curiosity is exactly why I design. Good design opens doors: it makes things more usable, more accessible, more equal for the people who rely on it. I want work that keeps challenging me, because growth only happens when I'm slightly out of my depth.
Outside of screens, you'll find me in the woods, by the sea, or out sailing with friends, a former climber of seven years who still can't sit still. Ironically, that restlessness is also why I ended up fascinated by interface design: I spend an embarrassing number of hours staring at displays every day, so I've seen firsthand just how much that experience can shape or wreck someone's day.
