Hello! I’m a Game Designer and Design Director with 10+ years of experience creating games and building teams.
 

I’ve been making games and designing experiences for other people since childhood. What began with handmade games and stories told through level editors has grown into a career focused on immersive systems, memorable player experiences, and thoughtful solutions to complex creative problems.
 

My love of people, play, and collaboration has naturally led me toward leadership and mentoring. I believe the best games are made by teams with trust, clarity, and a shared vision. My approach to communication has been shaped by The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni, as well as by the guidance of Fia Tjernberg and Axel Lindberg, whose mentorship has helped me grow my own sense of vision, intuition, and how to empower others.
 

Outside of work, I spend my time playing with my daughter, working on home improvement projects, cooking for friends, and building community where I live.
