GRANT HOLDER 2014
What has the grant meant to you and your career?
Receiving the Michael Treschow scholarship was both an honour and real acknowledgement for many years hard work and dedication. The jury’s reaction was a great motivation and made me further believe in my holistic view of design and that you as a designer have leverage over everything from the grandest vision to the smallest component and can balance both perspectives within your design. It has also brought a weight and legitimacy to my work and as a result my portfolio.
What are you up to today?
Today I am working as a UX and Product designer, designing digital products for big industrial companies and also guiding them in their digital transformations.
What are your two cents about design, today and tomorrow?
I think that we, with the new age of data sharing, will see a transformation in a designers role and way of working. Working cross functional in diverse teams will play an important part in creating good design with well thought out ethical solutions, thus allowing designers to govern and balance their creativity with socially ethical values.
