Identity

For as long as I can remember I have been searching for creative outcomes. For some reason my character has always revolved around the rebellious act of creativity. During my years at the Department of Industrial Design I have honed my creativity and added a tremendous amount of knowledge and skills to my repertoire.

My design identity revolves around showing people new things, centering on differentiating myself from other designers, by innovating on all possible aspects of a design process. I use this intuitive skill in conjuring ideas to create new and exciting products which not only alienate themselves from their competitors, but also raise a discussion on out-of-the-box thinking. They have a way of serving food for thought.

I strive to be original and do not hesitate to venture astray from conventional design practices. And in seeking to design such unfamiliar products I often throw myself in the deep end of the pool, working with new materials, approaches and fabrication methods. I enjoy this challenge and can easily work with experts on the subject at hand. I like diving into the deep end, ultimately the rewards are bigger.

Vision

It is in my believe that there is an infinite amount of exciting things in the world around us, waiting to be discovered. With the help of a creative and design-thinking approach, these things can be formed into innovative and unique products to enrich our lives.

Most of these interesting things involve new technologies just waiting to be tapped and placed in a design context. While it can be relatively easy to take a mature technology and apply it into a product, it offers less challenge. The real challenge, and significantly more innovation, lies within the adoption of infant technologies. Not all the best solutions are found within our current world of electronics, and I prefer fields outside this present-day scope for purposes of potential innovation.

In order to come up with new and exciting innovations, these infant technologies need a push into maturity. This can either be done by aiding the development of the technology, or by the use of a speculative design.

What I would like to do is create such exploratory speculative design products utilizing infant technologies, aiming to innovate into new and uncharted areas.
