Story of my life

‍

Technical program at the Sundsta-Älvkulle high school in Karlstad.

Spent 7,5 months in the forest with the army so I could get paid to be in nature for a while. Froze a lot. Drove a bandwagon across all terrain. Shot fairly straight.

Worked at Burger King and Subway for a few years in Karlstad and Stockholm.
Kept my calm under pressure. Saved money for adventures. Can make a Whopper in 28 sec.

Traveled around Southeast Asia. Got my tan on (and skin cancer). Found surfing to be quite the challenge.

Took my bicycle to Spain and worked for food and accommodation at hippy farms.
“Found myself.” Also found my faiblesse for the French language on the way down.

Hitchhiked in Europe and studied French for half a year. Tried sporting dreadlocks.
Decided against that for the rest of my life. Still speak decent French.

Studied surface pattern design at the Formakademin in Lidköping.
Learned how to create patterns for silk screen printing and to print them on big fabrics by hand.

Went to Norway to work with fish. Ended up working at airports instead. Feared peak oil. Needed money to buy a lot of silver to survive the apocalypse. Did not make much money.

Worked at IKEA in Bergen. Stocked the warehouse in the morning and helped the happy customers empty it during the day. Eventually got tired of the constant rain and fled to Oslo.

Filled pallets to the brim stacking wine boxes like a Tetris pro at an alcohol warehouse.

Decided to study Intro to industrial design instead. Became disillusioned.

Studied Package Design at Brobygrafiska. Found ArtiosCAD.

Worked at Smurfitkappa in Helsingborg. Designed corrugated in-store displays and packaging. Ate tons of candy samples and fed my Kongsberg cutting table all the paper it could ever want.

Studied 3D Visualization at YRGO to get some more artistic joy and remotability out of life. Also got the loudest laptop imaginable and a stipend for being a good lad.
