Concept art and graphics is what made me interested in design to begin with. Here are some examples of digital paintings and mixed media graphics, some of which were used as promotional material and event video effects (VFX) as a supporting act to music.

I paint digitally using a tablet in Adobe Photoshop as well as on canvas occasionally. Some of my artwork involves mixed media, in other words several different workflows combined. This process is typically what is used within industrial entertainment design.

I have always been inspired in creating immersive landscapes, so it became natural to experiment with the same methods in the real world. I worked with events for a few years, both non-profit and as a profession. Here are some examples of building projects, design concepts and lighting design done under that period.

I really enjoy working with lighting and see it as a natural element of any event. I try to combine lighting and custom structures in a way that blends video, objects, illumination and surroundings to create an immersive experience.

When doing conceptual design visualizations I use a mixed media approach similar to my artwork. A practical example might be a primitive 3D model for general composition and perspective, which is painted over, combined with photographic elements and vector graphics for crisp details and highlights.

I began experimenting with Photoshop while in elementary school. Web design and graphic design have been with me ever since. My industrial design background and understanding of color theory, color blindness and semantics has helped me to expand those skills over time.

I provide web sites, interface design, app design, logotypes, typography, posters, signs, icons, business cards, photography, almost anything within the topic.  I currently build websites in WordPress, the ever increasing complexity of sites and multiple platforms makes it very time consuming to build from scratch.

Photographic material is an important ingredient in many creative processes. I eventually picked it up as a hobby and complementary skill, putting it to good use documenting much of my work and providing material for personal projects and clients. I can provide you with natural stock images for your web site, product photography for a press release and much more.

Over time photography developed into an interest for artistic photography, primarily night landscapes, where I would go out at night trying to capture interesting light and weather conditions.

My formal education is B.Sc in product development and M.Sc in industrial product design, both within the field of mechanical engineering. I worked with product design for a limited time, but my work has made it into production under a sub-brand of NCR. I designed and engineered a charging station and worked on accessories for one of their handheld devices.

I have mostly pursued my artistic interests since then but I implement my engineering knowledge in most projects. When building a steel dome over a dance floor on a windy island structural integrity, material selection and general safety becomes central to the project. I have built custom light fixtures and various installations suspended over people.

When providing mechanical engineering services or drafting blueprints I work in CATIA, Alias Autmotive for surface design, but I am familiar with most 3D environments and CAD software.

I do steel work and welding, wood work and carpentry, prototyping, weak voltage electronics and programming among other things.

I have moderate programming knowledge in many different languages acquired over the years but consider my Python skills to be most developed. For the last few years I have been experimenting with deep learning, also known as neural networks or popularized as AI – artificial intelligence.

I have developed a deep learning based model for realtime onset detection in music, to trigger events during light shows and visual effects during music performances. The model works at over 99% classification accuracy, as expected by a properly implemented learning model.

Since deciding to learn this emerging and important field I have scratch built everything in Python as opposed to using existing libraries like Keras or TensorFlow. This means I have built the same functions these libraries provide, including a wide range of different optimizers. Thus I consider myself to have good understanding of conventional(MLP’s), convolutional neural networks(CNNs), audio pre-processing and data collection/augmentation/training of said models.

Working with applied programing solutions in the event enviroment has made me very familiar with DMX512, ArtNet sACN and integrating different protocols with each other.
