About

I'm Jonas – a serial entrepreneur since 2012, cinematographer-turned-award-winning filmmaker, and user experience design enthusiast. My journey started behind the camera and evolved into creating digital experiences that have been featured globally, awarded by Apple (Best of 2015 & 2016), and recognized with multiple honors including the Red Dot Design Award: Best of the Best. I obsess over crafting products that stir emotion and drive positive action. Right now, I’m pouring all my energy into shaping Planet Wild’s strategy, brand and storytelling — to help rewild the planet. I believe in science, critical thinking, and transparency. No fluff, just real and visible impact.
