Hello, I'm dackdel, an interaction designer working towards becoming a Farmer™

RECENTLY

For the past 5 years, I was an interaction designer leader at IKEA HQ in Sweden, working on corporate-inside-out innovation. We tried to get IKEA to understand Bitcoin, and why its the future of payments but they could not see it. So I left.

I build niche tools for clients, create art for myself and teach university students what I've learnt. I used to make interactive environments that invite participants to become performers. My main focus is building bridges where there shouldn't be one.

I employ a range of processes from historical research, prototyping, curation and teaching.

As a consultant, I helped my clients incorporate design as a strategic tool to help solve problems and be the key differentiator. I sometimes create and lead teams to do this.

I collaborate across disciplines to simplify complex problems into engaging, experimental visions of the future. My practice covers product development, interactive installations, interaction design, physical computing and front‑end prototyping. I've led teams from idea to execution in and out of corporate environments.
