A set of illustrations created for IKEA to support a global survey mapping people's experiences of working from home.
People I like :)
ProCreate
For this series, I selected some of my favorite photos of friends and transformed them into simple, yet expressive illustrations.
Interactive Illustartions
Rive
An exploration using Rive to see how an illustration can be manipulated through the use of numerical input values connected to properties of the illustration. The values can afterwards be connected to, for example, the mouseX & mouseY position. This was a fun experiment with great potential since it enables the creation of animated and interactive web elements using no code. Feel free to try it out by hovering over the plant image below.
Try it out :)

Lottie files
As a Christmas present for clients, Smal developed an interactive game called 'SMAL World,' allowing users to explore a virtual environment showcasing the company's work. To enhance the experience while the game loaded, we created an animation that conveyed the concept and journey of the game.
Personal posters
Adobe Illustrator
I enjoy making, and giving, posters to friends that depict things that are special to them.
Colive
After Effects
Illustrator
Colive is an app designed to simplify daily life for housemates and promote communal living. To illustrate the concept, I created a promotional video using a combination of app screens and custom made illustrations.
Inside your head
After Effects
Illustrator
A short animation based on a quote from my favorite book growing up: ”Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean it is not real?”.The quote is from one of the last chapters of the Harry Potter series.

Branch- brand identity for a think-tank
Figma
Illustrator
Branch is a made-up ThinkTank that aims to: "Take urgent action to bridge the knowledge gap on how to combat climate change and its impacts in primary, secondary and tertiary curricula." The brand and website is meant to reflect Encouragement, Trust, Inspiration, Youth, and Sense of Community.
Ecora
Figma
After Effects
Ecora is a concept that leverages auditory & visual cues in a humoristic way to help users better manage their food waste at home. The project consists of two components - a smart bio-bin and a supporting mobile interface.
Find your perfect EV charging spot

Charging an electric vehicle often involves a longer stop — typically at least 30 minutes. This Audi-branded project offers a solution for drivers to select what matters most to them during their charging break, enhancing their overall experience.

BMW Sense
Arduino
Processing
After Effects
Model building
In a speculative project with BMW, Interaction Design and Transportation Design students collaborated to reimagine mobility and sustainability in the future world.
We envisioned Umeå in 2050, where climate migration has more than doubled the population, putting green spaces at risk. To preserve access to nature, the city bans cars from the center, transforming streets into 'Nature Corridors' where innovative vehicles coexist harmoniously with the greenery. The idea behind BMW Sense goes beyond merely driving through nature; it aims to immerse people in and deepen their connection to the environment by engaging their senses.

The A.I dance choreographer
Arduino
P5js
Many have used machine learning to create images and literary art. I wanted to explore how it would interpret another artform – dancing. I let GPT-3, choreograph sequences from inspirational words. Then I used P5js and a motion tracking script, to display the instructions on a screen together with a graphic representation of the person while they followed the instructions. Hence anonymising the person and putting focus on the actual movements.
After the project I reflected on: - How the choice of medium impacts the outcome: for instance, using sound instead of words might have altered the overall experience. - The extent to which the project's aesthetics may have overshadowed its intended experience. - The challenge of capturing and conveying inspiration through words.

A fun desk decoration – only to be used on Fridays ;))
Tiny Motion Trainer Applied
Arduino
Tiny motion trainer
I wanted to use Tiny Motion Trainer together with an Arduino BLE board in order to see how easy it would be to train it to change the mode of a light. Afterwards I reflected on that it is a good tool to use if one wants to create a quick prototype and communicate an idea (compared to how time-consuming it would be to code something similar). However, it is really hard to make a 100% reliable prototype.

Small storage products for IKEA
Solidworks
Prototyping
During my internship at IKEA, I spent half my time at IKEA Home Smart working on products such as VINDSTYRKA. However, due to my Industrial Design background, the other half was spent at the classic IKEA Design Department. There I was, among other things, working on small storage products together with Anna-Maria Nilsson which are now available in store.

Covestro EVSE coming to life
Rhino
Keyshot
Mock-up
In the spring of 2020, during my Bachelor's in Industrial Design, I collaborated with Covestro on a project to develop a new form language and apply it to an EV charger. Later on Covestro continued to use my work to showcase their ambitions in the EV industry.
At the EVS35 fair in Oslo in 2022, Covestro featured my design in their booth to highlight the potential of their materials for future mobility solutions. Later that year, I visited the K-fair in Düsseldorf, where my 2020 design was transformed into a full-scale mockup. It was incredibly rewarding to see my work come to life and to be on stage sharing my experience as a student involved in such collaborations.
