“Through my work and daily life in Copenhagen, I enjoy being actively emerged in the culture and tradition of Scandinavian architecture and design.
Engaging in design collaborations, I inevitably bring this mindset.”

“In creative colaborations, honest and open criticism can lead to a coherent design:
When distractions and shortcomings in the design are overcome and eliminated, the product reveals itself, naturally, in its context.”
