I work in depth and prefer ambitious goals. I think methodically;
from the first impressions to the finer functional details.

The goal is important, whether it's the end user or a deadline;
but my passion also lies in creating experiences with others.

Basically, I like glueing things together for an awesome idea.

I have been learning practical creation skills independently since 2011.
Teaching myself new things is very easy when a strong vision is ahead.

In 2018, I began academic education at University of Skövde with UX design, then game development.
During college, I frequently took initiative for art direction and creative lead for group projects.

In 2021, during year two of college, I started my own personal development studio "Kemze Studio".

My favored styles are: geometric abstraction, digital degradation, strong silhouette and characterization.

Main projects.
