About Me
How I ended up where I am
I am a junior UX Designer who is currently working as an educator who teaches web design and front-end development for various vocational universities (yrkeshögskolor in Swedish) in and around Gothenburg.
I enjoy creating things, both digital och physical, a passion that has been helpful in both my professional roles. I am a social and creative person who likes to get things done, and my friends have often described me as a ”doer”.

Other than being a designer I am also a educator of web development and design. As a UX designer I learned how to improve people’s experience with applications, while as an educator I am teaching students about technology. As I gained more experience in both fields it became clear to me that the soft skills that make great designers are the same as those that make great teachers.
I still enjoy coding and working on my own projects, especially when I get to be creative and artistic with the things I code. Dice Example, Shuffle Example
The image of the landscape is the result of a project I did in an advanced computer graphics course. It's a procedural generation, based upon a ray marching algorithm. The code can be found here where it has been uploaded to a website called Shadertoy, which not only hosts but also renders it live. Even though it is a few years old now I still consider it the coolest thing I have ever programmed.
As I was teaching courses in HTML and CSS, I noticed that several of my students had a hard time grasping how CSS works and that they as a result found it quite tedious to work with. A lot of them weren't seeing the potential of the language, and had an attitude that they would rather use JavaScript to fix things.
I made this website that I call my CSS playground, and the purpose of it is to show my students a more joyful way of teaching yourself CSS while at the same time showcasing that you can create quite advanced things using only HTML and CSS.
