Description
Going out hunting for dinosaurs is no easy task, espesially when they come hunting for you instead of the other way around. But in this game you also have some advantages on your side, first of all you are a fast running horse and second of all you have two big guns mounted to your sides. Just run for the kill, but make sure to eat food and don't become a meal yourself.

This was a project I did in a course in game programming and the goal was to create a 3D-game using C# in Unity. The idea was to create a game that is slightly out of the box to make it to a new and fun experience for the player.

It is not always easy to know where you want to go next when you are planing on taking a step outside of your comfort zone and explore the world. With Travler's Guide you get information about a few destinations worth exploring by getting information, see images and hear songs from the destination presented to you.

The project was done in Python and the program and design was all made by me. The project was an assignment in a course in multimedia programming at Stockholm University.

A new bar has opened in Uppsala and the customers can now see what is possible to order from a tablet that is placed on the table. For the more VIP-customers it is also possible to order and pay through the system.

This was a group project for a course in user interface programming at Uppsala universite. The site is done with the use of JavaScript, HTML, CSS and Jquery. The design is done by me.

Description
Create your own zoo filled with animals ranging from cats to tigers, pandas, unicorns and dragons! But as we all know it isn´t easy to keep track of all the animals, their age, gender and so on. So to make it easier to manage your animals "The Zoo" was created. With this software you can see all your animals and buy, sell, sort or check their status as you want to.

Idea
The idea was to save all the images that you take on you mobile phone, add some text and then create a photo album in a easy and fast way.

Contribution
I worked on the project during my internship at North Kingdom and took the first steps to explore what we could do with the app and what was needed in it. I did sketches and the first wireframes to visualise what we was working on and iterated on those.

Problem
For 8 year old Emma, going to the library is an adventure. She is hopefully going to find some interesting books to dive into and experience a bunch of new worlds. For the teachers bringing Emma and her friends to the library is about more than just having fun. For them it is important to make sure that the children are increasing their reading ability and teaching them to read out loud for others. But to read to others is not always easy, especially when the listener wants to read by themselves or wants to run around the library instead of sitting down.

Solution
To make it fun and easy to learn how to read outloud the AR-game “Storytime” is suggested. By using a phone or a tablet kids can get their own little companion as soon as they enter the library. The companion is a small, yellow bird called Lova that lives in the library and that will start by guiding the child to the children section of the library. She will show the way and animations such as trees and flowers will be integrated into the library so that the children would want to go towards the animated and fun part of the library and skip the more “boring” adult parts where no animations can be found. The idea is that the world would be created in a similar way as it is done in Google's Rome experience “3 dreams of black”.

Final visualisation Problem
SAAB gathers a lot of information about their pilots, including eye tracking data. This is done through a Tobii eye tracker and the information has earlier been made into visualisations such as heat and gaze maps, but also in tables and donuts. But these visualisations lacks some parts of the information that is available, for instance how things evolve over time and in what sequence things are happening is hard to see in one simple visualisation.

Solution
We started out brainstorming on what we could do by drawing by hand and as the ideas was narrowed down we soon started to create digital visualisation. In the end an interactive prototype was made in sketch.

Costumization Problem
Learning to swim is something that is both mandatory in Sweden, but also something that can save lives. However, some kids are afraid of water and to make them feel more comfortable and safe in that environment is the first step to teaching them how to swim. Now there are teachers helping the kids with this problem, but tools to make the experience more joyful and fun is appreciated.

Solution
The goal was to create a social robot formed as a turtle that would work as a mediator between an adult and a child. The robot was designed as a turtle, since the turtle is an animal that appears in several media targeted for children, for instance Squirt and Crush from the animated movie Finding Nemo or Master Oogway in Kung Fu Panda. The animal is in many cultures an emblem of longevity and stability, but is also viewed as a symbol of wisdom. The turtle will introduce multiple activities that makes the water a fun place to play in, and hopefully lead to the child being comfortable in a water environment. Examples of activities might be to hold on to the handles placed on the shelf and then the child can paddle with her/his own legs and thus collaborating with the turtle to move forward. Other activities includes making bubbles in the water and swim alongside the turtle. The turtle will show expressions through its eyes and it will also be possible to customize the shelf in order to create a stronger band between the child and turtle.

Routines Problem
Routines are a vital element of a regular working day of nurses and caretakers at a Swedish psychiatric hospital. But an improvement was needed in the organisation when it came to the way they worked with the routines when they are introduced, applied, and the availability to the staff.

Solution
The goal was to make it easy for the staff to get the routines, both new and old but also to give feedback about the routines. The information was gathered through a contextual inquiry and the prototypes was first hand draw and then digitalised. The result was in black and white and further design work is needed to make it as good as possible with a color scheme as well.

Problem
Running a marathon might seem like something out of the ordinary to do, but then you might not have dona a ultra marathon - marathons with a distance that is greater than just those 4,2 miles. For people running those kind of races it is obvious that it is the mind that sets the limits on what you can achieve and during the race motivation from other runners, friends and family is of great importance. However, it might not always be easy to get this motivation when you most desperatly need it.

Solution
Ultra runners doesn't want to waste energy on having to carry a mobile phone, but they all do wear different kind of smart watches to track metrics such as time and distance. This lead us to design an application for smart watches that is used to send motivation to other runners, but also to ask for motivation from the other runners in case that is needed. Family and friends are supposed to be able to send motivation as well to the runners during the race.

Invitation Event
Älggasquen is a dinner held every year for about 180 persons with a party after for about 1300 persons at Norrlands nation in Uppsala. To the event a lot of things needs to be designed and I was responsible for that part during Älggasquen 2017.

Some of the things that I made was the poster, the label on the beer bottles, the menu and the signs in the bars.
