ABOUT
Designer & Architect. My creative practice is deeply aligned with playfulness and eager to create. I enjoy working in different media and believe that having the raw materials in your hands gives a completely different understanding of the extrasensory perception. An understanding, that I find important since I aim to create stimulating designs that invite people to engage in and interact with.
I have worked both in the fashion industry and as an architect and have a deep understanding of stepping into different brand identities and universes. The purpose of my designs is always to transform ideas and requirements into aesthetical and functional value whether it is regarding graphic design, product design or even a building.

WAVES PRINT DESIGN
Wall art inspired by the everchanging form of the dreamy waves of the ocean. By observing and exploring the unique shape from soft, rounded ripples to angular combed waves it was transformed into minimalistic and simple prints. With soothing, neutral, sandy tones the posters are ideal for creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere in your home.
FRAMES FURNITURE DESIGN
The design, Frames, won the 1st prize at FSC Design Awards 2018 along with the reader’s choice 1st prize by the Danish interior magazine, Mad & Bolig. The competition challenges design students to combine sustainability and wooden design. Our task was to shape and create a piece of furniture in scale 1:1. Afterwards we developed a marketable prototype with Kvist Industries and today we collaborate with NORR11 as royalty designers.
Frames is a dynamic pendant lamp in FSC certified oak. By displacing the several frames that the lamp consists of, it transforms from a two-dimensional surface to a sculptural, three-dimensional object. This allows the pendant to be flat-packed for easier and more sustainable transportation. Additionally, one can create different light settings and change the expression of the design with the manual rotation. We live in a time where more lightning has become digitally adjustable. Frames is a manually counter-reaction to the digital world. In other words, Frames creates a dialogue between the user, the design and its natural material. Unfolded Frames creates an intimate and mute light setting while the light becomes sharp when flat packed.

LITTLE MEMORIES
DESIGN
Memories are the treasure of your heart, written in your mind. Making memories means living, doing, creating and experiencing. It is all about appreciating the little things in life as they often make the best memories; The smell of freshly baked croissants, collecting seashells on the beach, plants bringing a touch of nature to your home and ordering take away on a rainy day.
With a fascination of the playfulness of everyday objects the collection arised from sketches and ended up as a creation of print design, home decorations and a jewelry collection.

LIGHT PLAY SCULPTURAL ART
By exploring different manufacturing processes including casting, metalworking, 3D printing and CNC cutting the sculptural art pieces were made.
Playing with repetition of the same simple shape with small deviations I have explored how natural light can transform a surface creating a dynamic and lively appearance.
The art pieces were sold at an exhibition at The Royal Danish Academy of Art.

A WINE STORY LABEL DESIGN
Some say wine is always the answer. And it might be the answer when in doubt about what to give someone on special occasions.
Wine makes the the perfect gift for friends or family and it becomes even more personal with a customized label design.

ARCHITECTURE SPATIAL DESIGN
As a freelance architect and spatial designer I aim to transform the client’s ideas and needs into functional and aesthetical spaces and objects. I have experience with offering architectural and interior design to other studios as well as working directly with the client. My past work includes interior design for EF Education First office in Copenhagen, table setting at events, designing a waste solution for the homeowner’s association, GF Vingen and working for the architecture studio, Werkt. I have been working on several design projects from the initial design stage right through to completion.
I have had meetings with clients to determine their needs and requirements before developing and presenting the project proposals in order to guide in regards of design and choice of materials. I have produced construction documents of residential housing, kitchens, bathrooms and built-in furniture for other construction professionals as well as gathered offers from suppliers and ordered building materials while adhering to budget plans. During the building process I have participated in construction monitoring on an ongoing basis.
