Reporting.
Filmmaking.
Experimenting.
My journalism experience includes Sveriges Radio’s Ekot, Sameradion and P4, and SVT. I have worked across radio, web and video, combining original reporting with research and live news production.
Alongside documentary filmmaking, I bring earlier experience in software and database development. I am exploring how AI can help independent creators while keeping editorial judgement and responsibility in human hands.
SwayReel is a separate video practice app I am developing with AI assistance. Its development includes exploring playback, speed controls and looping.
