Bio
Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. Educated at the prestigious Academy of Drama in Gothenburg, Sweden. And Prague Film School in the Czech Republic.
I’ve spent over a decade working in film, theatre and voiceover. I’ve acted on stage and behind the mic, directed short films, and built a life that’s always revolved around storytelling — whether it’s through a camera lens, a script, or a simple conversation.
My passion is storytelling. Which for me, is a journey of self-discovery.
When we dare to be bold and write truthfully from our personal human experience.
Our stories have a tendency to expand beyond imagination and connect with people.
The purpose of this site
This space isn’t about hacks or hustle.
It’s about finding presence in the creative process — and honoring the quiet, personal moments that shape meaningful work.
I started this site because I needed somewhere to reflect.
And reconnect with what creativity means to me.
I´ve had a decade of ups and downs. And the pleasure to realise some of my dreams as an actor.
But recently, I felt something shift.
I no longer wanted to create just to produce.
I wanted to create with depth.
With soul.
And with intention.
Here, I share stories from my creative life. Tools and rituals that help me stay grounded. And reflections on what it means to live and create slowly in a world that keeps speeding.
Are you a fellow creative who’s craving more meaning, calm, or courage in your work? — I hope you’ll find something here that speaks to you.
Slow down. Create with meaning.
Who I am
Growing up in a singel parent household with little guidance from adults. I quickly found myself in trouble as a kid, stealing and doing anything basically to spike my adrenaline.
If you would have told me that I would perform on stage in front of thousands of people later in life, I would have laughed.
Back then I was so far away from anything connected to film and theatre. That was something you saw on television or read about in the news.
But one day as I went about my business as usual, something happened that eventually would steer me towards the arts.
I was caught stealing, and was given two choices by the local policeman. Either I joined the local theatre group for kids or a basketball team. Or he would make sure I was legally penalised.
For some reason I chose the theatre group, probably because I had seen my older brother acting in a school play.
And so I joined the group and we did our first performance a couple of weeks later.
Right after the performance, my friends mom said “Simon, maybe you could become an actor.”
If she only knew, what that comment put into motion.
The photo on the left, is actually taken right after the performance back in 2001. Im happy I didnt know how far away I was from making a career withing the arts for myself.
My perception of what it means to be an actor, has changed many times since then. And continues evolving.
I prefer to see myself as a storyteller. Sometimes taking the backseat as a writer or editor. Other times I’m in front of the camera lens. It doesn’t really matter to me.
In the modern digital landscape, artists have been given more tools that can elevate our messages.
AI will be a part of the digital production landscape. And personally I’m not at all worried it will hurts us, quite the opposite.
Connecting with an audience is impossible, if we don´t connect with ourself´s first.
My intention for the articles on this blog. Is to approach the topic of storytelling from the perspective of self-discovery. Regardless if the topic is AI or Screenwriting. I think all tools, are there to elevate the deeper part of ourselves.
