I grew up with design, so for me design is a way of life. I see design as a solution to each and every aspect and challenge. Tangible, abstract or otherwise in existence. As cofounder of Trashypeople, I work with design methods, desktop research, design anthropology, rapid prototyping, co-creation etc.

From a social, environmental and financial point of view my take is that we need to design a sustainable future. A fairer and greener globe inhabited by a growing population can be achieved via design for disassembly, zero waste and renewables, in other words: circular economy design. My hope is that we will continue to design the future, as we would like it to be – but also as we need it to be.

Design and education are the sole Danish raw materials. Therefore, design is important for Denmark. As a nation, we seem to lean on to a mutual understanding hereof. Design thinking is becoming an accepted and understood approach – a solution to any and all aspects and challenges. Tangible, abstract or otherwise in existence.
