I'm a Swedish culture journalist, TV-producer, editor and musician, currently based in Kanagawa, Japan - right outside of Tokyo, where I work mainly for Swedish and English language media. Between 2010 and 2020 I lived in California; San Francisco and California. and I also currently study TV-production/development full time at UCLA. On my downtime I play music as a singer-songwriter.
