Design improves life quality
I believe that tactile and aesthetic products bring joy to people and increase our wellbeing. This is something I truly experienced personally and professionally when working with hospices in Denmark during my studies.
That's why I strive to create design solutions with empathy for peoples' need, and to design sustainable products which have a small environmental impact on the planet. In the end, a happy sustainable planet increases everybody’s health and wellbeing. With a solid base of Scandinavian design heritage and history I try to experiment and develop something new and contemporary, often with playful, natural and sculptural elements to encourage curiosity and a smile on peoples' face.

Please write or give me a call if your are interested in some of my designs or a collaboration. I always look forward to meeting new people.
