I’m an animator focused on cinematics and gameplay, with a background in 2D illustration and 3D modelling. My studies at Södertörn University (2019-2022) gave me a good foundation of workflows in the game industry. In 2024 I chose to specialize fully in animation, which led me to Future Games in Boden (2024-2026).

My skillset includes keyframe animation, motion capture workflows, rigging, and visual effects. What makes me valuable in a team is that I work hard to create a good dynamic, which means regular and clear communication, as well as a focus on feedback and solutions.

What I love about working with animation is seeing characters come to life. To me, animation is rewarding, easy to get a grip on and to understand step by step. I see it as a craft where there are fundamental rules to making it believable and appealing.

In my element.
