Bicycle Design | The LithoNe City Bicycle | 3D Design ConceptThis project began as a client assignment in April 2010. The client requested a 3D model of a city bike concept. However, the project was halted after its initial phase due to lack of funding. A year later, I completed the design with additional details, taking it on as a personal project to refine the concept. Note: Due to threats and conflicts from the client over a decade after the project's start, I have removed specific references to the individual from my site while the issue is under investigation. Unfortunately, similar issues seem to have affected other designers worldwide. |

Interior & product design | ILVA design competitionIn 2013, Torben Nyegaard Poulsen and I participated in ILVAs design competition with the goal of creating a furniture series that redefines modern interior design. Our vision was to strip the design language down to its essence and develop a cohesive collection that merges aesthetics, functionality, and adaptability. Some of the furniture pieces had already been designed before we heard about the competition. When we decided to participate, we expanded the collection by designing additional furniture and products to create a complete and cohesive series. With Scandinavian minimalism as our foundation, we focused on modular furniture that could be customized to fit various interior styles. We wanted to convey the idea that furniture is not just inventory—it is a fundamental part of a home’s identity. Our approach was to challenge conventional solutions and develop an innovative furniture series that merges functionality with a strong design identity. The concepts were designed using the 3D software Alias Studiotools and rendered in KeyShot, allowing us to refine the details and visualize the final aesthetic of each piece with high precision.

Fashion apparel design | Eyewear Design ConceptsAs someone who has worn glasses since I was five, I have a deep connection to eyewear. However, this has also made the design process quite challenging, as I have to take off my glasses to study them. Balancing my personal experience with the technical aspects of eyewear design has been an exciting challenge. In my latest project, I’ve developed two eyewear concepts: a pair of sports glasses and a pair of everyday glasses. Both designs are inspired by principles from transportation design, where form, function, and aerodynamics play a key role. I aimed to create glasses that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional in different daily and active scenarios. The sports glasses are designed with a focus on comfort and stability during movement, using carefully selected materials and forms to ensure a lightweight and ergonomic fit. The everyday glasses are crafted as a sleek and timeless solution, designed to be worn throughout the day without compromising on comfort. The emphasis here is on a minimalist expression that still exudes personality and quality. Both eyewear concepts reflect my interest in combining aesthetics with technology while drawing inspiration from streamlined forms and functional solutions found in transportation design, alongside my experience as a glasses wearer. |

Product design | Letter box conceptThis letterbox concept is inspired by Apple's streamlined and minimalist design aesthetics, particularly their use of simple and elegant stands, as seen in their monitors. I aimed to create a product where the letterbox and its stand are integrated into a seamless unit, eliminating the need for traditional, cumbersome installations like deep holes and long poles. Instead, my solution is both stylish and functional, making it easy to place the letterbox while ensuring it stands out visually. In short, this design challenges the conventional perception of what a letterbox looks like and how it functions. |

Auto design | 3D wheel Rim Design: The Perfect Balance of Aesthetics and FunctionalityI specialize in designing and modeling custom wheel rims using the advanced 3D software Alias Studiotools. My work strikes a balance between aesthetic innovation and functional precision, making each rim design unique and tailored to the overall style and technical needs of the vehicle. The process begins with a foundational model that includes the tire, suspension, and brake disc as standard components. This setup allows me to focus on crafting intricate patterns and details that define the visual identity of the rim. Depending on the complexity, the modeling typically takes between half a day and two days. Experimentation is at the core of my design approach. I explore various shapes, materials, and textures to create designs that meet functional requirements while giving the vehicle a distinctive visual appeal. Inspiration often comes from previous designs, which I reinterpret to reflect modern trends and technological advancements. Many of these rims are created as part of concept cars, where they enhance the vehicle’s overall aesthetics and performance. The final product is more than just a rim—it’s a seamless combination of durability, precision, and style. Each rim adds a unique dimension to the vehicle's look while ensuring the technical robustness necessary for optimal performance and design coherence. With Alias Studiotools as my tool of choice, I transform ideas into reality, delivering rims that are both visually striking and technically advanced. |

Fashion apparel design | Stilettos meet the sports worldThis project was born from a desire to explore and rethink the shape of a high-heeled shoe. The vision was to merge elegance with sports aesthetics, resulting in the development of a 3D model of a stiletto that incorporates sports logos. My aim was to visualize how a sports brand could enter the high-heel market and thereby redefine shoe design. I used size 35 as a starting point for the basic form and then experimented with different heel shapes and approaches.
Unexpected attention on fake sales websitesIn March 2021, I discovered that images of this concept were being misused on fake sales websites where the shoes were falsely offered for sale. Even though the shoes do not exist in reality, there were fabricated positive reviews from "buyers." I tried to warn potential buyers through reviews but without success. To protect my work, I added text to the images, clearly stating that it is a 3D illustration only. |

Interior product design | Paintings - art workMy artwork is deeply rooted in sustainability. Most of my paintings are created on recycled materials, such as back panels from old cabinets and shelves, predominantly sourced from IKEA furniture. By using these discarded items, I give new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste. This approach is not only eco-friendly, but it also adds a unique authenticity and story to my paintings. The colours I use are mostly leftover paints I've accumulated over time, adding depth and character to each piece. Every hue has its own narrative, creating a distinctive richness. My creative process is intuitive, allowing each painting to evolve organically, expressing a momentary feeling or atmosphere. These paintings are currently displayed in my home, contributing to a personal and unique ambience. Through my art, I hope to inspire others to see the possibilities in reusing and to create with what surrounds them.

Brand identity | Portfolio foldersSince 1999, I have created portfolio folders that I sent by postal mail. Today, for interviews, I use an A3 folder that can be updated with new papers as needed. The folder contains plastic sleeves, making it easy to replace the content. In the past, I also designed a portfolio newspaper with a circulation of around 2,000 copies, which was mailed out. The newspaper was a cost-effective solution for the mass production and distribution of my work. |
