Bio

I am a theme developer from Sweden and a team representative for the WordPress.org Themes Team.
From January 2021 I am a WordPress Core contributor at Yoast.

I have built themes and contributed to WordPress for many years. I have completed over 2200 theme reviews for the theme directory, and I was honored to be the development lead for Twenty Twenty-One.

——
Thank you to all of you wonderful kind people who sponsored my contributions and work on fullsiteediting.com in 2020. <3 <3 <3 I am happy to be able to pay it forward in 2021.

Interests

Besides coding and design: Gaming, cross stitching and crafts, movies, tv

WordPress Origin Story

I built my first website in the 90’s because I needed a place where I could express myself freely.

That is what WordPress is for me, it helps people express themselves and own and publish content on their own terms.
