Bio
John Sundell
Working as a software developer on several large-scale products and services, I've had the opportunity to work closely together with many very talented graphics artists & designers. Magnus is without a doubt one of them. Not only does he push pixels like a wizard, deliver ultra high-quality work way ahead of deadline and inspires the people around him with his creativity, but what strikes me as one of his finer qualities is his extraordinary dedication to his work. Whether it's taking a sketch I drew on the back of a receipt and turning it into a stunningly beautiful User Interface, coming up with character designs or creating logos and marketing material - Magnus will do whatever it takes to make sure that both employer, teammates and the end customer, are happy with the result. Be it hand-drawn 2D, 3D Models, buttons, icons or animations of magic spells or old rusty ships - anything that can be created using Photoshop or Maya, Magnus will create it for you. So if you're looking for a graphics artist that not only delivers, but will constantly exceed your expectations, you should hire Magnus. I seriously can't recommend him enough. I'd be happy to provide any form of reference for him, and I'm sure all of his previous employers and coworkers would say the same.
