I grew up in Sweden, played hockey my whole life, and assumed I'd follow the normal path. Then I discovered you could run a real business from a laptop — and everything changed.
I've been a digital nomad entrepreneur since 2012. I built two animated video production companies remotely — ExpansionVideos.com for the international market and AnimeradReklamfilm.se for Sweden. Today we've delivered 500+ videos to clients across 30+ countries, including Toyota, Deloitte, and IKEA.
"Burning Man cracked me open. I walked in as a businessman and walked out as a human being. The 10 Principles aren't just for the desert — I believe they're a blueprint for how we can all treat each other better."
These days I'm based in Portugal, traveling constantly, playing hockey when I'm back in Sweden, and working on The Interview — a participatory art installation I'm bringing to Burning Man 2026.

Two video studios I built from zero — with no office, no fixed team, and a laptop.
International animated explainer video studio. We help companies across 30+ countries explain complex ideas simply — with animation that actually converts.
Sweden's leading animated video studio. 500+ animated explainer videos for some of the biggest brands in Scandinavia — built and managed entirely remotely.
"Working with Mikael's team was seamless — and I was genuinely surprised how smooth it was to work with a fully remote studio. The quality surpassed every local agency we'd tried."
"I asked Mikael how he runs two companies from anywhere in the world and he just laughed and said 'I'll show you.' He did. It changed how I thought about building a business."
"Our animated explainer video from AnimeradReklamfilm has been running for three years and still converts like crazy. Best investment we made that year, by a long shot."
