My role as a designer has been much influenced by my professional background as a teacher, camp leader and as volunteer for various projects for children. This commitment, together with an interest in craft, are the foundation of who I am as a designer. By giving shape to social projects and other types of meetings for people, especially children, I wish to extend my professional role as a designer to include more than just giving form to physical products. My main aim with my work is to encourage you to play and to give play its true value. Children's play is for real, and children should be able to take for granted that adults also take it seriously.

As a self employed designer I work with various projects including exhibition design, workshops and product design. Among others, I have worked and collaborated with Lysekils Kommun, Havets Hus, Vandalorum Art Center, Hoperaisers, Slum Architects, Kulturskolan, Kultur i Väst, Chillibussen AB and more.

I am since January 2015 employed by HDK, School of Design and Crafts as a Lecturer in Design.
