About Me
I'm an interaction designer who moves fluidly between concept and craft. I recently completed a Master’s at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, where I spent a year prototyping quickly, testing relentlessly, and learning to trust the insights that emerge from making things real.
Since graduating, I've been collaborating on industry projects with companies like LEGO, Roche, and Spotify.Before CIID, I spent 3 years as a web designer and developer creating digitial experiences for a wide range of clients, which gave me a technical foundation I still rely on. My background also includes a brief stint in automotive journalism, a path that taught me how to find clarity in complexity and communicate technical insights in human terms.
I'm drawn to design that respects people's time and attention, that creates moments of delight without demanding constant engagement.
