About

I’m a designer with a background in industrial design (MFA at Lund University) and over a decade of experience creating products, interiors, and experiences. My work spans audio products at Sudio, bespoke furniture and lighting through Onni, and building a restaurant from the ground up where design meets daily use.

I approach design with equal parts curiosity and practicality—balancing form, function, and storytelling. Whether it’s a product launch, a space, or a crafted object, I focus on clear concepts, thoughtful details, and sustainable processes that bring ideas to life without losing their soul.
