Whilst studying furniture design, I worked with different kinds of wood and expressed its materiality with shape, form, and construction method. This bred my interest in multidisciplinary working methods. Hence my journey from architecture to art and design; working with different disciplines and scales ranging from furniture to textiles to urban landscape installations. I also exchanged into Textile Department in Danish Design School, experimenting with merging different forms of art and design.

During my studies a major awareness of mine is investigating the way the human body “senses” and relates with space; I had the desire to provide a meaningful spatial experience for the user and engaged in related projects. These projects fostered me a deeper understanding of spatial elements and its connection with psychology and movement.
