About me

I love design that is functional and still beautiful enough to move you.

I have a master’s in computer science and studied human–computer interaction in Sweden. It’s a combination I didn’t plan, but it lets me understand both the people and the code.

I’ve worked as a founding designer at Screenhero and Kitemaker, both later acquired, and as a Staff Product Designer at ClickUp. At Slack, I led the design of Slack Calls across all platforms.

I have a passion for architecture, vintage cars, and crafting by hand. Together with my wife Lucia, I designed the garden studio where I work.

I love capturing moments with my compact Fujifilm camera, focusing on our garden, cars, travels, and the small details of everyday life. I’ve always been passionate about lettering, especially brush and marker styles.
