My Interests

Understanding the future role of a designer by exploring the space of a 'Redesigner'. My work centers around sustainable fashion and how we can redeploy traditional design tools to help create product life-extension stratagies at the back end of a products life.

 

Areas of Expertise

My Industrial Experience

My industry experience has been based out in Denmark. I worked for Selected Homme for several years, followed by Norse Projects.
