HELLO I’M JACOB
Industial Designer
Hello, my name is Jacob, and I am an industrial designer from Aalborg University.
I am currently studying for my master’s degree in industrial design and I am ready for new experiences.
My vision as a designer is to analyze and understand the essence of problems, to be able to create the best possible solutions. Through right solutions through physical mock-ups and 3D modeling. In this phase, I have focused on understanding and optimizing the transitions that a product must take when it transitions from a digital CAD model into a physical prototype.
My focus points are Parametric design, Problem-solving, Prototyping, 3D-modeling and Visual Presentation.

The PLANT-IT pot
First, the positive form was 3D printed.
The surrounding mold was 3D modeled and 3D printed, with silicone afterward poured around the positive form.
Afterward, the pot was molded in concrete.
The wooden legs were provided with a big thanks to Skødstrup trædrejeri.
The whole process was documented on Instagram if you want a closer look.
The pots were packed and sold at designers marked.
The speaker collection: SHAPE
3D modeled in SolidWorks
SoulSHAPE
A speaker designed for the cozy evenings
The SoulSHAPE speaker is designed for the cozy home. It is for the person that loves to have a warm and personal home and wants a speaker that stands out and fits into a “quirky” lifestyle.
