My educational background spans interaction design, programming and biology. I started with a bachelor's degree in Bioinformatics in Berlin, followed by several years working in neurobiology and behavioural science. I later completed a master's degree in Interaction Design in Gothenburg.
I worked in several jobs as a creative technologist, design engineer, researcher, coder and ux designer as well as a freelancer in the fields of media arts, urban design, social- and interaction design, automotive design and autonomous driving. I have extensive experience working with AR and VR applications. I am building hard- and software prototypes, interactive installations, web and mobile applications.
