I’m Magnus V. Östergren, a Stockholm-based creative who loves to  direct and design art, games, interactive experiences, and fun campaigns for brands I believe in.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve delivered everything from huuuuge digital marketing campaigns to VR music videos, game prototypes, trailers, illustrations, and silly experiments.
