MAGNUS V.
ÖSTERGREN
I’m a freelance creative director with 20+ years in the digital experience business who loves to tell pixels what to do, when to do it, and why they’re even doing it in the first place.
I specialize in crafting audio-visual experiences, creative applications, and motion graphics, always with a focus on fun, exploration, and unexpected outcomes. I thrive on swimming like a toddler in the sea of stupid ideas always glad to say hello to innovative concepts and solutions when I bump into them.

EVERYTHING AT THE SAME TIME
I’ve been freelancing most of my life but at some points I’ve played with others in a structured fashion: Not that long ago I was Creative Director and Head of Games Lab at North Kingdom and before that I’ve been leading the creative work and branding at a couple of creative startups, but also doing too many stupid things to mention here. But I can tell you if we decide to meet up and chat.
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with top brands like NIKE, Google, EA, and RIOT, with my work featured on platforms such as IGN, Kotaku, Time, and Vice. I’ve also earned recognition through awards like Webbys, FWA, CSS Design Awards, and the Annecy Crystal for Best Documentary Short.
