Born in 1979, the interest for arts and crafts began during my childhood, at my father’s wood-workshop. From building simple pieces of furniture, the mind was set to keep thinking about new solutions and designs. Later on outdoors sports became quite important, and like so, sailing and running are still strong factors in my habits.
Form and shape became the main focus of my studies, which guided me to Volkswagen Automotive. Just after working at Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge, I realized that the combination of form and function is the most important balance in design. Like so, I decided to go back to studies, where form follows function... Sweden, and its Scandinavian Design. Today, more than ever, I see that design is a combination of a number of things, much more complex than only form, or function.
Along with hand sketching, clay modeling and different analog tools, I try to develop as many digital skills as possible cause they tend to create better and faster results. Despite not abandoning free hand sketching, I mainly use this technique to put down on paper as many ideas as possible, and do not worry too much about the quality of lines or shading... This is usually resolved with digital tools, both 2D and 3D.
