Inspired mostly by my own emotions and experiences, I see my studio practice as a way finding out answers and results to my questions and concepts. My art making process usually starts with material studies and explorations, where then ideas and concepts start to interchange with the different materials. I embrace the incidents and unexpectedness that happen throughout the process.

My approach to design works in a quite similar way. As I believe in the undeterminable and uncertain qualities of design. Design is a dialogue, a way of communication, and an on-going process where we proceed toward perfection through conversation and tons of different investigations.

Design is an art, and I love design.
