DESIGN IS INTELLIGENCE MADE VISIBLE
Having had the opportunity to work with people in different design sectors across multiple countries has refined my listening ear, and taught me the importance of leaning in, asking questions, and take the time to understand the complexity behind cultural values, priorities, and visions. Caring about people and embracing their story as if it was my own is how I approach design. I also hold a firm belief in respecting the vernacular, and not to design or build intrusively.
Being from Sweden I have always been surrounded with the traces of ancient history. Striking a balance between progressive design and rooted heritage is a thought process worthwhile. I believe architecture can be both, and. They are layered with evolving identities, just like people.
"Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love."
