I’m Magnus Östergren, a Stockholm-based Experience and Art Director with 20+ years in games, campaigns and immersive media. I create concepts, art direction and visual development for games and digital experiences, always grounded in aesthetics, narrative and world-building.

I’ve directed projects for EA, RIOT Games, GOOGLE, TENCENT, IBM, MOJANG and NIKE, leading teams and clients from briefs to (mostly) clear, unified visions and awesome results, and my work has been recognized with a Webby Award, multiple Awwwards and FWA Top 100/honours, Cannes Lions, ADDYs, AICP Next, European Design Awards, CSS Design Awards, and the Annecy Crystal.
