The person behind
the work

I’m an animator, animation director, and entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience in 2D animation, game animation, and motion design. Since 2007, I’ve run Stockholm-based Cinematic, combining creative work with project management and team collaboration.

I’m curious, social, and solution-oriented, with a strong drive to keep learning, developing, and exploring new challenges—both professionally and personally. In 2026, my partner Veronica Wallenberg and I completed The Great Swim, becoming the first to swim across all five of Sweden’s largest lakes.

I’m curious by nature. I like to understand how things work, question why they work the way they do, and then see if there’s a better way.

For me, creativity is as much about problem-solving as it is about expression. I enjoy working within constraints, finding the simplest solution that still has character, and knowing when to push an idea further — or let it go.

I’m interested in the space between disciplines: animation, design, storytelling, technology and games. That’s often where the most interesting ideas emerge.

Most of all, I like making things. Trying things. Learning new tools. Exploring unfamiliar territory. And turning a vague idea into something people can actually see, feel and experience.

Curiosity starts the process. Craft makes it work. And the purpose of the work decides where it should go.

Sharing what I’ve learned is part of the work. Through teaching and workshops, I bring the same curiosity and care I bring to a production: making room to experiment, ask better questions and learn by doing.
