About

I was born into a family where music plays a big role in everyday life, and at the age of twelve I first came in contact with the guitar, and I fell in love with the instrument.

 

After high school, I spent three years at the Academy of Musical Instruments in Stockholm with teachers such as luthier Lars Rasmussen. These years gave me the foundation and knowledge to choose my own path as a luthier.

In 2021 the Swedish craft council awarded me a certificate as a master in the craft of guitar making.

​

I build lightweight, responsive, and expressive guitars influenced by builders such as Ervin Somogyi. My design is influenced by Scandinavian minimalism and functionality.

 

Besides building guitars, I have for over a decade worked with restoring and repairing vintage instruments, which has helped me understand and master different building techniques.

 

My workshop and home are located in Laholm, a beautiful small rural town near the west coast of Sweden.
