Making exhibition models
May 28, 2018
In the last few months I was part of preparing the exhibition happening at Sliperiet on the topic of innovative building methods, mainly 3D printing houses and large structures. Now things are coming together, and I’m happy to have contributed to 5 of the project models in some way! And being mentioned on 3 tags […]
Creating visual theme for Umeå Global Game Jam 2018
January 21, 2018
Since 2015 I’ve been the main organizer of Global Game Jam in Umeå. The idea to do that came quite unexpectedly from an acquaintance from another city who used to organize it there. After a bit of hesitation I decided to go with it. It seemed to include all the things I liked to do […]
Experience prototyping: short movie!
November 28, 2017
Sharing a project from about a month ago. We had a one week video course. It was my first experience with more professional setup, having a way to record audio, set up proper lighting and camera. I think that was truly the most fun and intense week I had at UID. I ended up with […]
Building Officer Vi gauntlet
November 3, 2017
Halloween at Umeå Institute of Design is a big thing. The talks of Halloween costumes start a month before the actual event. After all we have all those amazing industrial design students who have amazing skills in making incredible product models, and we also have an amazing workshop that allows us to build those models. […]
Self & Distractions
September 29, 2017
I just read two articles on Medium that made me want to write this, share my own opinion and reflect. Both of them by the same author. Both of them in a very similar tone, also something I heard before. What I heard/read before was about the sacrifices one makes to lead an extraordinary life, […]
Experience prototyping: Omega Squad Veigar
September 5, 2017
University resumed on Monday this week, and the high tempo started already on the first day with a quick recap of Arduino. By the end of the week we had to create something. The goal wasn’t anything in particular, the whole task was mostly about us trying things out and creating a functional system. I […]
Featured past project: CSS tutorials
August 11, 2017
Not everything can make it into the portfolio. General rule is said to be that “your portfolio is only as strong as the weakest project“. But there is some pretty cool stuff I’ve done in the past and I’d like to feature it somehow, even if I can’t put it in the main portfolio. So […]
In search of a fitting CMS
August 8, 2017
Looking at the growing population of designers who want to create websites but don’t know how to code, and the “make your own website in 5 minutes” systems flooding the web, I find it hard not to pride my self in the fact that, unlike many others, I can code. That’s why from the start […]
Summer project: practicing video editing
August 2, 2017
Since I started studying at Umeå Institute of Design I was bombarded by videos left and right, product videos, process videos, “for fun” videos. I haven’t really been doing much with video in the past, and I finally got inspired to change that this summer! First up was finishing the Global Game Jam 2016. I […]
Tribute to my hard working female friends
June 18, 2017
Over the last years with the new wave of feminism I’ve heard it so many times about how difficult it is to be acknowledged for being good at what you’re doing when you’re a woman. I heard that today watching Girlboss, a show on Netflix, where one said “you work twice as hard as these […]
