Biography
editIn 1984 she established the company Sophias Ateljé and opened a shop in Stockholm. About this time she came to the attentions of Äventyrsspel and Iron Crown Enterprises[1] and during the following years she made many illustrated maps for their board games and role-playing games. In 1986 she made one of the first Swedish RPG maps in colour,[2] the same year she co-wrote the town module Kandra together with her husband.[3] After that she drew maps for many of the games by Äventyrsspel.[4]
In 1993 she and her company moved to Visby, and she began to focus on jewellery design[5] but she still did some props, patterns[6] and garb for the Medieval Week on Gotland. In 2013 she was one of the winners in the Wiki Loves Monuments competition.[7]
