GRANT HOLDER 2008
What has the grant ment to you and your career?
The scholarship have ment a lot for me, especially during my studies. I did not learned what I expected, but I learned something more valuable for the future. I learned how to fail and I learned how to overcome huge disappointments. The scholarship was one of the few things that kept me going, knowing that such a renowned jury believed in my capacity.
What are you up to today?
I´m currently working at Umeå Energi as a service designer, creating new sustainable services for the future.
What are your two cents on design today and tomorrow?
In recent years I´m glad to see how traditional non-design organisations are adapting designerly tools and methods. How they are realising how the designer’s toolkit can create value in making organisations more customer centric.
What I hope to see is design taking a much more active role in creating positive climate action. I strongly believe that design could have a much more active role in creating new solutions and enhancing behavioural change.
