I’m an industrial and interaction designer from Sweden, specializing in prototyping and tangible interfaces. I’m educated at Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden where I’ve spent the last six years. I have tried to angle my education towards more tangible experiences, and as such have built up great experience using various technologies and workshop machinery. Through my internships at Smart Design in San Francisco and Microsoft Research in Cambridge, UK, the prototyping experiences have been further honed and added to with for instance knowledge into PCB design and a deeper knowledge into programmable prototyping platforms.
I find great enjoyment in actual physical development of parts and prototypes, as well as designing new tangible experiences. I’m very comfortable around CAD software and can quickly visualize ideas and bring them into fruition using either manual machinery, CNC machining or 3D printing.
