I’m a Concept Artist from Sweden. As a kid I loved creating and building new things, but then I found my medium of choice, concept art.
I got the chance to move to Germany in 2009 and ended up spending 7 amazing years there, working at Crytek and KARAKTER Design Studio. I’ve been fortunate to be a part of designing some of the great projects in gaming.
In the last couple of years, besides freelancing, I’ve also worked on creating my own little game. It has changed my view of making games like nothing else. I appreciate the teamwork of bigger projects in a whole new way now.
I’ll write and show more of the game soon, as I finish it and conclude that journey!
