I’m coding & designing, and I like working with product, user experience, and interface design. And other things too.
I’d like to write more (don’t we all), and I consume a (un)healthy amount of music.
You can reach me via email or Mastodon. I live in Stockholm, Sweden.
My fav track is ♫ Dream Night by Jamie Xx.
