Since completing my Master’s degree in Furniture Design in 2024, I have been based in France to improve my French and expand my international outlook while working freelance across furniture and lighting projects. My experience includes 3D modeling (Rhinoceros), rendering (Keyshot), prototyping, and material development. One of my notable projects includes my final MA project: a ceramic table lamp inspired by French pottery and natural forms. The lamp featured a red clay base and a translucent porcelain shade, designed with energy efficiency in mind.

I developed natural glazes and researched ceramic traditions in Vallauris, combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. My professional philosophy is deeply material-oriented. I believe in studying materials to understand their form, expression, and function. I also place a strong emphasis on sustainability, conducting research to optimize production processes and using environmentally friendly materials and methods. I embrace teamwork and community spirit, valuing the strength and insights gained from collaborative efforts. I relate to the Danish word “fællesskab” which to me means fostering a sense of togetherness and mutual support that I’d like to bring into my work life.
