Seeing myself as a designer with a curious and involved attitude towards the world around me.

Fascinated by the human body and it’s movements and motives. Why do people do
the things they do?

I like to respond to this by tackling social problems.
For example, lending a hand to human posture in evolution with my project ‘Orthoses for the future’.

Or by tackling my own pitfalls as a maker by designing a personalized and wearable methodology named ‘It all appeared to be linked’.
