Hello, I'm dackdel, a strategic interaction designer & artist.

RECENTLY

Worked as an interaction design leader for 5+ years in the global innovation team at Ikea HQ (Sweden).

Created the theater/installation for the world’s first multi‑sensory VR live‑action feature film Le Musk.

Co‑founder of an open‑source portable multi‑parameter water quality testing kit called Caddisfly.

What I think I do is use curiosity, quick prototyping, curation as ways to explore solutions. I also lead & bridge disciplines for product development, interactive installations, physical computing, and front‑end prototyping.

As a consultant I help organisations use design strategically, leading teams from idea to execution across startups and corporate skunk‑works.

I also teach physical computing and installation design at various masters programs across the planet.

Had the lucky chance years ago to work at Eyebeam
