Quality

A strong product starts with a strong construction. I create solutions that work in practice, while respecting the design and its original intent.

Experience

Creative Engineering Ltd.

My own company, where I’ve worked as an independent consultant in technical product development since 2017. I collaborate with both designers and manufacturers and handle tasks ranging from construction and material selection to CAD modelling and documentation.

External consultant at Danish Furniture Control

I am affiliated with the Danish Furniture Control as a consultant. The Danish Furniture Control is the world's oldest voluntary furniture inspection scheme, established in 1959, and today operates as a division of the service organisation Furntech.

Standards committee s-256

I am a member of Dansk Standard’s standards committee S-256, which focuses on furniture and fittings. The committee works with the development and maintenance of Danish, European, and international standards for furniture, including requirements for quality, safety, and functionality.

Project Supervisor, University of Southern Denmark

As an external project supervisor, I’ve supported engineering students with their final projects. My role has been to contribute with practical knowledge and technical input – with a focus on bridging theory and real-world application. I help students develop solutions that work in both concept and construction.

Howe A/S

At Howe, I was involved in developing furniture for international markets. The focus was on technical solutions, construction, and optimization of products for both design and mass production. Close collaboration with both manufacturers and in-house production was essential.

Molgard APS

I’ve worked on the development of plastic and metal components for the furniture and interior industry. My tasks included custom client solutions – from concept to production readiness – with a strong focus on functionality and manufacturability.

Montana Møbler

As an intern and later external consultant, I contributed to technical solutions and product optimisation at Montana. I worked with construction, material adaptation, and production-ready detailing, in close collaboration with the company’s design and development team.

I work at the intersection of design and engineering. My focus is on making ideas possible – using technology as a tool and function as the goal. A good construction isn’t just precise – it’s thoughtful. I combine technical experience with creative thinking to ensure the design not only looks great but also works flawlessly.

Education

Diploma Engineer in Integrated Design

Bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Denmark (Odense Teknikum), focused on the interplay between engineering, design, and product development. The programme combined solid technical training with a creative approach to problem-solving – and gave you a strong interdisciplinary foundation for your work as a developer and consultant.

Architect HTL

Completed architectural studies at HTL Burgdorf in Switzerland. The programme emphasised construction, structural design, and form-giving, with a strong link between theory and practice. It was here your interest in technical solutions and functional design was first sparked.
