Multidisciplinär kreatör och barnkulturdesigner med fokus på utveckling av platser, upplevelser och objekt, skapade för och tillsammans med barn och unga.

Ofta inkluderar mitt arbete olika faser så som platsanalys, utformning av koncept och byggnation på plats. När möjligheten finns föredrar jag att arbeta med återbruksmaterial.

För samarbeten eller bara nyfikenhet, hör gärna av dig!


Multidisciplinary child culture designer and artist with a focus on the development of environments, experiences and objects, created together with and for children and youth.

My work often includes different phases such as place analysis, concept development and on-site construction. Whenever possible, I prefer to work with recycled materials.

For collaborations or just curiosity, feel free to contact me!
