David is a Swedish freelance UX designer and researcher with a PhD in Cognitive Science. He grew up in Stockholm and the south of England and now reluctantly lives in Malmö. He likes to write short books for fun and will keep doing that instead of watching Netflix. When he is not writing or reading sci-fi, fantasy, ergodic literature, philosophy and psychology, he likes to play role-playing games and take long naps on the sofa. He is not a very good cook.
