The Danish Cancer Society have made this wonderful interview with a sweet, sweet girl from the Cancer yard that I had the privilege to meet and play Monster Gartner with.

The 22th of February 2022 Monster Gartner went live on AppStore and Google Play!
About 50 people showed up to the event both funds, suppliers, staff and children, while 24 watched on the live stream. It was an amazing day, with a little speech and presentation followed by everyone trying out the game themselves!

In January, we had the pleasure of hiring physiotherapist Lærke Winther to evaluate Monster Gartner’s effect to reduce inactivity for the children using Monster Gartner. Now the evaluation is fully funded and an article about it can be found here: Rigshospitalet.dk
In May I and two colleague at the Hospital applied for funding to continue the project I’m working at and to start scientific research in the benefits of playful solutions like it. And we got it! ❤
Sketchy sketchy stuff!
Always a good excuse to doodle characters 😀
This time for a magical steampunk universe inspired by Sunless Seas / Sunless Skies.
It’s crafted out of 8 different photo references.
Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. And after a lot of uncertainties we finally got acceptance that I could start as project leader at the Children’s Hospital of Copenhagen. I’m going to run a project called “Break the isolation” for kids and adolescences living with cancer. It will helping them through VR/AR experiences to socially connect with friends and family at home – and others in the same situation at the hospital. Aaaand also have fun and encourage more movement.
I just had my 3th day today and I’m so excited!
I can’t show a lot, but through the last months I’ve had a lot of fun freelancing jobs!
I’ve been doing sigils for a Game of Thrones inspired LARP (Spoils of war), sketches for merchandise for a shop in Tivoli and game design sketches for 3 small games for Ramasjang. I’ve also been game jamming on a the XR project we started at Copenhagen X BørneRiget.
I’ve just got one project left to finish, 8 drawings orders for a wedding gift, and then I’ll take a break and work on my own stuff ❤
I don’t think I have a lot extra to say about this.. It was an amazing experience, my group build a gigantic concept in thoughts and prototyped a part of it – and won one of the two prices..!
I’m overwhelmed in all the best kind of ways.
