ABOUT
I’m a screenwriter and director with slightly strange ideas and a deep love for lonely characters. It all started with homemade films starring me and my stuffed animals in various wigs- and ever since then I’ve held on tightly to the playfulness that once made me fall in love with storytelling.
In 2023, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in screenwriting from Stockholm University of the Arts. Since then I have worked as a freelance writer, director and editor developing concepts for film, tv, theatre and music videos. In my stories I like to use absurdity and poetry to explore themes like childhood, longing, exclusion and destructiveness. Right now, I work as a headwriter for the kids' show Buu-klubben at Yle.
I do: writing, directing, casting, editing, dramaturgical- and pedagogical work.
