What others say about me
Pontus has no fear in taking initiatives, good at communicating, a good listener and overall very engaged in projects.
​
Who is Pontus?
Games have always been a part of my life, from playing competitive multiplayers to singleplayer adventures. I've always had a curiosity about how games work and are structured. Growing up I used to spend a lot of time creating fictional cities on paper or in map editors for games like Far Cry and Halo.
​
Currently I'm a level designer at The Game Assembly living in Malmö, Sweden. Before I started my education in level design I collected a B.Sc in Media Technology; focused on game design at Blekinge Institute of Technology. Through both educations I got to work in teams and collaborate on many different projects.
​​​​
I’m a level designer that values communication and teamwork. As a level designer I like being part of tackling challenges and thinking outside the box. I have a big interest in understanding and working with technical solutions and designs but also creating fun and memorable levels.​​​​​​
Advocating for accessibility
Accessibility is a big part of my life, since I was born with a physical disability called AMC. Because of that I also got an interest in working with accessibility design for both digital and physical spaces, trying to bring an unique perspective on things.
​
I've been working with accessibility at events and exhibitions but also been a speaker at some of them. Here are some of my highlights.
-
Guest speaker on topic accessibility and esports at BirdieLAN 2019 and Vetenskapsfestivalen 2022.
-
Guest lecturer at Skurup Fridhems Folkhögskola about accessibility design.​
-
​Accessibility designer at Kreativum Science Center exhibition that opened 2022.
