About

I am a writer, designer, producer and creative leader with extensive experience in games and TV. I design systems, stories and experiences across digital and live formats, from tabletop RPGs to interactive television, always aiming to engage participants and readers alike. I work across teams and licenses, translating ideas into cinematic moments and playable worlds, and I bring a collaborative, hands-on approach to leadership, pitching and production. I speak English and Swedish, with some German, and I love shaping ambitious narratives that resonate with diverse audiences.
