”It’s really interesting to think about: why do so many games have this hairstyle? Why don’t we see other types of hairstyles?

Great article by Game Developer with some insight on my talk: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/design/why-is-black-hair-so-difficult-for-video-games-to-get-right-this-3d-artist-explains

"It's really interesting to think about: why do so many games have this hairstyle? Why don't we see other types of hairstyles? There's a smorgasbord—as we say in Sweden—of hairstyles to pick from," said Olander about the Killmonger. "But, you know, from a developer point of view, I see it as a quite simple hairstyle to approach from a technical standpoint."

Tallgran CEO Isaac Olander breaks down the challenges of having proper representation in games, and what developers can do to add authenticity.

My talk is on the Vault!
- It’s easy to get bogged down on all the negatives and challenges with representation, but I believe the best approach is to stay solutions-oriented! These problems present us with opportunities for creative solutions, and I will use my time and effort to create those:

I want to give a special thanks to Vilmer Knutsson, over at , who prepared me for public speaking and more. He helped me discover my core message with this talk. Working with him has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, to improve both my business and work-life balance: https://lnkd.in/dcv_QnUg

Thanks to the team at Edelman for the continued support!
