About
I am a PhD Fellow at AHO, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design. I have worked with the World Design Organisation (Young Designer's Circle) from 2020-2023. As a design educator, I have taught product design illustration and CAD modeling for 5 years. I also ran a design consultant agency in South Africa Down2CAD since 2018, and I have 10 years of professional experience as a CAD product designer, working mainly with clients working on carbon fiber projects in leisure and recreation. I pride myself in my turnover time, and meeting my clients' briefs, while still pushing the design intention toward innovative and unique solutions.
