He has the unique skill set of being technically minded and hands on with game making But also is a great artist with a great artistic eye .This meant that whether giving at direction or implementing art in game he always greatly elevated my work .Lars seemed to have a natural knack for leadership and was able to delegate and respond to thing as they came up Which was incredibly helpful when it came to doing my job . It was a pleasure to work for and with Lars and would gladly do so again .", "During my career I have had the opportunity to work with some of the most creative minds in the entertainment industry. They all amazed me with their ability conjure ideas that quickly grew into brave new worlds. In most cases, those creative leaders were able to translate their visions to a crew of eager artist clearly and concisely, but with Lars, he is able to do all these things with incredible ease while giving each of the people working under his guidance the confidence to improve their own abilities. I was lucky enough to work for Lightbox Interactive for a year during the development of the AAA game, "Starhawk". My job was to consult on, and write the 2D cinematics for single player campaign as well as create all in-game dialogue. Each day I would report to Lars, informing him about what I was working on, or issues I was working through. I was always impressed how he always gave me his full focus. He would listen, then with little to no hesitation, he would give me an honest answer. I never walked away from Lars' desk doubting what he said, or confused by what he was asking me to do. I always stepped away from our conversations with more confidence than I had before. That is a rare and crucial trait for a leader of artist to have. Lars is a great Creative Director and I can only hope to work with him again.", and "Lars is hands down the best creative director I have ever had a chance to work with. He has an incredible eye for detail. He also has a strong work ethic. He knows how to articulate his vision and give positive critiques. Lars has a deep understanding of every discipline of the game pipeline. This gives him the ability to direct more efficiently. He is great at managing tasks across all departments and has a great respect for everyone on the team. This respect garners loyalty and motivation from everyone. I reported directly to Lars and no matter how often I would interrupt him for feedback, (and it was a lot) he always gave me 100% of his attention. He always found time to stop by my desk to review my animation no matter how busy he was. Lars gave me the opportunity at LightBox to do things I always wanted to do but was never able to at other studios. He brought out my best and helped me achieve a level of excellence that would have been lost anywhere else. I hope that in the future I will get to work with him again. Any studio would be lucky to have him."
