I grew up drawing vehicles. Fifteen years later I'm still sketching every single day. Somewhere along the way I stopped caring about how something looks and started caring about what it does for the person using it.

I worked at Surface Moto, helping build their first electric bike from a rough concept to a road-ready prototype. That taught me what design actually costs in the real world — every decision negotiated against manufacturing, cost, and time.

I'm heading to Umeå Institute of Design because I want to think harder about the problems before I reach for the vehicle. Hive and TOAD are both attempts at that — starting from a real human tension, not a shape.
