About
I grew up in a small rural town in Sweden and now work across industrial and transportation design, with a Master of Science in Industrial Design Engineering from KTH and a Master of Fine Arts in Transportation Design from Umeå Institute of Design. For six years I taught sketching, and helping people find their own way of seeing is still what drives me. I'm at my best chasing new challenges and questioning the things everyone else takes for granted. Also: I really like cats.
A vehicle for self-sufficient living in rural Scandinavia in 2040. I grew up in a small village in Dalarna, where when something went wrong, you and your neighbours were the ones who fixed it. But the vehicles people rely on there are moving in the opposite direction. harder to repair, locked behind proprietary systems, less willing to trust the person driving them. ANURA is a response. A vehicle designed around user authority, repairability, and community-scale capability. Built to empower self-sufficiency by trusting the user's capabilities and inviting their curiosity.
