Last weekend I participated in a game jam and it’s no I want to write my reflections and learnings here. This post will be just about the experience of participating in the jam, and later I’ll write another post about our project later. It’s been quite a while since the last time I did a […]

Breaking down Devil May Cry combat system
Some months ago I was asked to break down a system in an existing game as an exercise. Today I’d like to feature some parts of that exercise here. Despite currently working on a mobile game that has no enemies or power-ups, my passion really lies in action games with strong narrative. I’m a massive […]

Making exhibition models
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
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 […]
Building Officer Vi gauntlet
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.

Featured past project: CSS tutorials
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 […]
Summer project: practicing video editing
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 […]
Making stuff with my hands
Around July 2016 I picked an interest in coloring books. I’ve always liked coloring, it’s like revisiting the childhood, but with all the new skills and way more control over my hand. Strangely enough, I don’t like drawing, it’s never been an appealing activity for me. (And here I am, studying design!). Filling things with […]
Working with textiles and music
As I said in my intro entry (that happens to have been written nearly a year ago), I plan to write on the current and recent project on this blog, and everything else I might find important or meaningful to share, but mostly projects still. There’s only so much that makes it into a portfolio, […]
