SOUND CONCEPT FOR MERCEDES-BENZ.
In this one-day course at Umeå Institute of Design, with the help of a music artist and professional sound designer Andreas Estensen, we focused on attributing meaning and bringing expression to a car. We were given the task to make a sound concept journey for the Mercedes F015 (both vehicle and the application). How would the brand express itself to sound?

CERAMIC FORM EXPLORATIONS / INSPIRED BY HOME.
A few weeks of ceramic works, inspired by themes and organic shapes from the north of Sweden. I first explored sketching and water color, to see how layers affect each others. Then I made the shapes into cutlery, plates and bowls. I had some reindeer horns at home that I assembled with the ceramics.

GIFT BOX FOR A LOCAL BEAN-TO BAR CHOCOLATE BRAND.
In this packaging project I did a from scratch packaging project and research on the bean-to bar process in hand made, bean-to-bar chocolate for Vintage Plantations. I visited the chocolate factory and did desktop research on the chocolate making process. I wanted to match the artisanal expressions of the brand. The illustrations expresses the process of the chocolate bean- from a small plant to the roasting of the beans. The final gift box is sustainable, in a a model that is made from a recycled paper. I made the template foldable, and no glue is used in the process.
