Recommendations
Erik is brilliant! Fast, thoughtful and precise, he's got sharp concepting and execution skills and is a pleasure to work with.
Ilia Uvarov, Creative Director, Head of Experience Design at R/GA London
"[...] Summing-up Erik is already today remarkably high competent in the field of design, both when it comes to form language and underlying technical knowledge.
To this must be added his open mind versus new knowledge and new ideas, his ability to learn quickly and his way not only to function in a group but also to contribute with new energy.
If Svenska Spel had the opportunity we would employ Erik without hesitation.
We can’t but congratulate the company who will take advantage of Erik’s work."
Jerker Nilsson, Head of Digital Production at Svenska Spel
