Work
2020 - now: Independent designer
Since 2020, I have worked on a number of furniture and design projects. Including the Re-C chair, Cut - Out Armchair and freelance projects. Many of these I produce and sell in my studio and workshop in Copenhagen.
2019: Junior Architect, Rosan Bosch
At Rosan Bosch I was hired to work on the concept and design development of a sensory home in Denmark for mentally and physically disabled people. My work here involved researching the needs and conditions necessary to create such a home. It also involved designing the grand spatial layout of the home, as well as designing custom elements and furniture, for the specific rooms. Next to this project i also worked on other large spatial projects particularly within the educational field in both Denmark and abroad.
2017: Designer: SUPERFLEX, Copenhagen
At SUPERFLEX I worked on projects from the initial sketching phase to technical drawings and final production. One of my main projects was the design development; from research to concept and sketching of a large installation in the Turbine Hall in London called ‘One, Two, Three swing'.

Graduated with a master in Furniture Design from the Royal Danish Academy in 2024 and a BA from Design Academy Eindhoven in 2018. I design furniture and conduct material research of local and natural origins in Denmark. My work is always carried out in collaboration with local manufactures and craftsmen. Through the exploration of natural materials, crafts, culture and products I strive to connect people with the nature and culture that they are daily sorrounded by and part of.
