How is your work process when you design?
I never sketch or write anything I got everything in my head. I work with a theme and start creating from that. I try to get in the workshop as fast as possible and work with models in scale 1:1.
Which part of the process is the hardest for you to work through?
Probably somewhere in the end when I start to doubt my idea. It always happens.
Do you turn to specific areas for inspiration in general?
Not really, it could be anything.
Any designers you find inspirational?
Maarten Baas, Jamie Hayon, Front
Other students you find inspirational?
Jenny Ekdahl
Is your work process based on a special approach towards design?
I work often conceptually and more with a story then function.
Do you have a dream scenario for you and your design in the future?
To conquer the world and make it a bit more enjoyable.
Has it always been a dream to work with design?
Not specific design, but anything that I find creative. I still wish to work with a little bit of everything in the artistic field.
