I am passionate about creating architecture that can make a difference - both for the individual user and for society. My primary interest and skill set is in social & and environmental sustainability; how architecture can influence users and create better living conditions. I have, during my education, worked with creating spaces that provide space for diversity; how architecture can act as a medium for conflict solving and integration. I can work in all phases of construction and have a structured approach, just as I am able to develop, investigate and analyze small and large projects from the concept design to tender, including sketching, project management and authority work. I am good at collaborating with builders, contractors and authorities and creating a healthy trustworthy relation and coorpotation in between.
