Who are you?
I’m an interface designer from Stockholm, Sweden. I had a strong presence in the Mac OS X theme scene and made many popular themes during the early 2000s. I since went on to work for a design agency with focus on mobile phones. I’ve lived six months in Tokyo where we worked with Japanese operator KDDI. I’ve been back home since 2011 and dabbled in Stockholm’s startup scene and since went on to form my own company, Filibaba, together with my wife Jenny Sunden and our friend Robert Dougan. We make vegetarian cooking apps and do consultancy work.
What are you working on?
All kinds of projects at the moment. I’m focused on iOS and the Apple Watch and as a freelancer I’m helping companies in transportation, postal and banking) here in Sweden. At Filibaba we’re working on adding new content and possibly a utilitarian app tied to cooking. It’s very gratifying being able to do everything in a product for a change.

I’d have to pick this one. What makes it special is that it’s actual captured usage of our cooking app Veggie Weekend. A lot of work went into making each animation and interaction and it’s very fluent in use. We feel we have a great way of presenting recipes on an iPhone (and iPad) and we hope to bring more content to our platform soon.
Tell us about your setup.
I work from home on a retina iMac. If I’m out at a client’s office I have a MacBook Pro which I prop up with a The Roost stand. The iMac stands on a Lifta wooden stand. A mini amplifier sits on its foot, with speakers on the floor. Music is important. I try to stand in front of the computer, but it’s really the mix of sitting for a while and standing for a while that works the best for me. I use a Wacom Bamboo tablet, modified with some Sugru clay to improve the grip of the pen. I use it mostly because if it’s ergonomic advantages. Combined with the pref pane Smart Scroll, you can hold a modifier button and scrolling works just like tossing content on your iOS device. I keep the Magic Trackpad around for gestures. I spend most of my time in Photoshop, which is what I used to create the shot.

Eidenberg does incredible work with Cinema 4D and it really shows in his shots, this one in particular. Cool music creation app, too.
