Born in Sweden in 1970, in the 1990s he trained as a puppeteer with Swedish Marionetteatern founder Michael Meschke. He has created a number of popular television shows for children. Initially working mostly with puppets, he has since developed his own technique which blends human actors and puppets. In 2009 he won the Expressen newspaper's Heffaklump prize, a children's culture award originally intended for children's book creators which was in this case bestowed for the first time on a TV series.
