Why ID?
From an early age I was constantly drawing, imagining, and pulling things apart to
figure out how they worked and whenever asked what I wanted to be when I grew up,
I would without hestiation respond: “inventor!”
As an adult I have channeled that childhood curiousity into a love for industrial design.
I find that bringing intentional and well thought out ideas to life gives me a deep sense
of satisfaction as well as a creative outlet that has the potential to provide something
of value for both myself and the world.
Design Philosophy
“Tenk,” or literally “think” in Norwegian is the personal brand that I have developed
over the past 4 years that embodies the ideals that I intend to put forth in my work as a
designer. With Tenk, I am focused on creating products and solutions that respect the
user and the process, while paying close consideration to social and environmental
context and impact. I feel the tagline “consciousness in design” illustrates that
concept well by conjuring ideas of forethought, a wholistic aproach and human-
centered desgin philosophy.

Future Plans
It is my intention to use design as a vehicle to create and
impact positive social and environmental change and give
something back to the global community. Using sustainable
practices, human-centered design, and global humanitarian
outreach.
