About:
As a designer I strive to place emphasis on the process and lifespan of a design, beginning with research, however not ending with the final product, but rather taking the concept of futuring into account. Through emphasizing not only slow design but also slow consumption I aspire to create emotionally durable pieces that foster connections on a more personal level. I aim to achieve this through combining crafts[wo] manship and less commonly used techniques with industrial manufacturing, as well as paying close attention to details. Further, I endeavor to make appropriate choices in materials, privileging
the local and sustainable, while keeping a cradle-to-cradle lifecycle in mind. Lastly, I intend to create favorable circumstances for the designs, materials and techniques to express their agency, such that each tells a story, to result in thoughtful and thought-provoking artefacts.
