About
About me and this site.
Hi, I’m PeO 👋 Professor of Design at Mid Sweden University, and Bevica Guest Professor in Universal Design at Kolding School of Design in Denmark. I have used a wheelchair since 1987 and worked with accessibility, usability and Universal Design for almost as long. I am of the field, and I challenge it from inside it.

About this site
This is my personal website: a place to write and think aloud, discuss my work, share resources, and connect dots together with people who share my passion for Universal Design. If you share my interest in how we can design for a better world, this site is for you. I hope you find value here.
Three reasons I write online:
- To experiment with new ways to write, and make a few friends along the way.
- To learn together with others in public as I keep exploring how to work as an academic.
- To share resources and talk about our research from a more personal perspective, grounded in my own experiences.
