About:
I'm a doctor of human computer interaction, focusing on play and game design. I work in academia, and as a play design consultant. My main area is designing for technology enhanced play outside of the computer. My focus is on how to create certain engagement, feelings and experiences in public places, through game activities.
I've been one of the main organizers of a global game jam event in Stockholm for some years. We are cooperating with the national museum of technology, and last year we had around a hundred participants! This year I'm moving to Oxford, and will join GGJ as a participant for the first time. I'm really looking forward to it!
