Sustainable Development

Mon, 10 Oct 2011 18:10:00 +0200

I devote more and more time into development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. We have to re-think in terms of resources, on how things are made by taking a step back and learn from nature. A present solution is to design for disassembly, that is to take care of both the biological and technical nutrients.

Second Year Master

It's finally time to launch the second year of master, my final year at Chalmers. What is to be expected? To start with, the schedule will be filled with elective courses where I personally have chosen to deepen my skills in "Sustainable Development". Spring will be reserved for the highly anticipated master thesis that lasts for about six months.

Personal Web Page

I wanted to build something that I felt would present my work the way I think. The theme of this web page is all about proportions, consistency and most important, personality! It is based on HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript.

Luman is a piano inspired lamp that is focusing on a structure for easy assembling, thus reducing the size of its package. Models are in progress... to be continued!

Money2

Wed, 26 May 2010 19:29:46 +0200

In collaboration with electrical science and software engineering students, an electronic payment system based on RFID technology was developed. Prominent factors from the preliminary study such as speed, reliability and accessibility were highly prioritized throughout the project. Finished prototypes were successfully tested by users in an almost real environment.

Apple iHome

Sun, 10 Oct 2010 19:28:05 +0200

Apple was the subject of a review on brand expression. A conducted research of Apples brand such as company history, product timelines, marketing approaches and competitors was made to establish its core values. These values together with obtained design cues were used as a starting point for the latter part in which we designed a new device for Apple.

50 Years Of The Laser

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:25:33 +0100

To work as an exhibition designer at Universeum was incredibly fun, especially when meeting professors presenting their laser experiments that finally had to be suited for children to play with. The exhibition was open for a year and introduced laser to the visitors in a mutually informative and experimental way.

Gaia

A project initiated by EFG — leading manufacturer of office furniture in northern Europe. Our mission was to design an innovative personal workspace according to the Cradle to Cradle principles. Designed in an eco-effective way while focusing on single material parts with different life cycles, Gaia is geared towards creative people and can be adapted depending on need and taste.

My first year of master has now been completed! It ended with successful presentations from both the Industrial Design Engineering project as well as the second part of Advanced Form Design. With both personal and professional growth, I definitely look forward to continue my second year with new courses, including a final thesis next year.

It's all about creating an experience.

Updated Web Page!

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 10:18:16 +0200

I'm glad to announce the launch of my new personal web page! I've spent a lot of time rewriting, optimizing the coding as well as, well, improving the design. Important changes are the new tabs that I added, which are "News", "Projects" and "Sketching". I hope you'll enjoy the change and especially my work :-)

Advanced Form Design Presentation

Today we presented our individual portfolios which included the visual output of the Advanced Form Design course. From paper workshops to digital modeling assignments, each student presented something unique and personal to inspire.

Visit To Artist Eva Hild

Mon, 07 Mar 2011 10:18:30 +0100

We did a study visit to Eva Hild at Sparsör where she's having her studio. She talked about her sculptures which as she said were exposed to pressure and movements. It was a very inspirational meeting and impressive to actually see her in action on a sculpture that was in progress.
