Big announcement to make (midi fanfare!). After some 20 years in Sweden, 7 years in the UK and almost exactly 7 years in Italy it's time to try a new - very different - adventure. Happy to announce I will be re-locating with the family and to start working in the frog studio in Austin, Tx this autumn! Taking a few months off with the family to prepare for the move this summer and will start my work in the US on September 7th. Really excited to embark on a new (Texan) adventure, please reach out if you want to meet up in Austin. |
