Game Design · Systems · Narrative · Art
Welcome! I’ve designed games professionally for 15 years and currently live in Gothenburg. These docs are creative musings, sketches, and writing about design and making things.
If you’re a local creative curious about games, or interested in collaborating on something different, say hi.
