From Large Architectural Projects to Redesigning the Baby Bottle

Throughout my career I have been involved in projects that vary in scale and context, from large architectural projects to redesigning the baby bottle; from chocolate packaging to the official world championship chess set.

I graduated (BA) from the Department of Industrial Design at Design School Kolding and later moved to London to pursue a Master’s Degree in the Design Products course at the Royal College of Art. Since graduating from RCA I have been employed within different London-based design and architecture practices, including Pentagram Design and Foster + Partners where I was designing and developing products on a broad range of projects for international market leading clients. This work has given me a solid know-how of working with a wide range of materials and production methods, and also given me a vast knowledge of what it takes to run contemporary design projects from ideation through development to implementation. After ten years of working in industry I decided to start working for myself, which I now do from a London-based studio. I also have a part-time design tutoring role at the RCA where I run the ‘Design Through Making’ Platform at the Design Products department.

My work is diverse but always rooted in a design approach where function is valued as a beautiful feature and ‘problems’ are valued as opportunities to create new and better solutions. As a designer I am driven by a curiosity to unravel unresolved ‘design problems’ based on thorough observations and research looking at how people engage and interact with environments, services and products. I then use this knowledge to simplify complex products and reshape ordinary objects into noteworthy and clever product solutions. In some cases this means integrating functions, technology and materials more effectively hence achieving better results. In other cases I completely rethink and challenge how we traditionally do, think and design things.

The combination of having grown up, been educated and working in the Danish design culture, with over ten years in the UK contemporary design industry, has embedded core values that drive me to create well-crafted and innovative design results; it also pushes me to find new ways to make systemic solutions and objects that function, look and feel better. A journey that started 15 years ago at Design School Kolding resulted in 2011 in one of my projects being honoured as a part of the Danish Craft Collection CC15.

Companies I have worked for include well-known brands such as Tefal, Puma, Mothercare, United Airlines, Volkswagen, Moulinex, Biomega Bicycle, Artemide, Olivari, Molteni & C, Unifor, Hershey, Formica, Apple, Bloomberg, Walter Knoll, Porcelanosa and The World Chess Federation.
