Background
Born in southern Sweden and raised in the northern mountain
region of Sweden. Now living in Robertsfors, about 60 km north of
Umeå.
I am trained as a toolmaker and have worked in the metalworking
industry, in many different professional roles, for a number of
years. Before I started working at Umeå Institute of Design, I
worked as a secondary school technology teacher for about 11 years.
I have also worked as a part-time firefighter for a longer
time.
What I do at UID
As a lecturer in 3D techniques, I teach in 3D software such as
SolidWorks, Rhino Mesh Mixer and so on.
I also work with workshop education in the UID wood and metal
workshops, this includes for example wood turning, vacuum forming,
welding, metal turning and milling.
I also help out with the CAM
preparation and 3D printing of files for UID students.
I am the fire safety delegate at Umeå Institute of Design, which
means I have the responsibility to ensure that evacuation plans and
fire prevention plans are followed and updated.
