During my Masters I did one last group semester project. With two other students, I designed and 3D printed a light bulb in order to improve the clarity of speech during conversations at the dinner table. This way hard of hearing can be more engaged in social communicative situations. As our client, Eriksholm Research Center… Read More
PIP is the result for the master course Interactive Materiality, which I did with a fellow student. Interaction is becoming more and more flat and lateral because of the massive use of touchscreens.

This was an eye-opening addition to my vision. The AquAware make… Read More

I designed Pettow, a pet-like pillow to reduce anxiety for people with dementia. During this project I learned to manage a project… Read More

Then, the indent on the side of the middle block becomes visible,… Read More
Another small project I did with a fellow student, is the Jukebox FLORA, which was for the course Creative Electronics. It works like this, when hovering your hand above the flower of Bare Conductive paint, you hear different tones, as you can see in the video. During the project I found out that I could… Read More
