I am focused on developing computational design and fabrication systems for wood. My research combines my interests in design, fabrication, and human-computer interaction. I have a background as architect with several years of professional experience. I have worked at architecture firms in Switzerland and Japan, where I had the roles as architect designer and digital design specialist. During my Master's studies at The University of Tokyo, I was part of the Digital Fabrication Lab, and during my undergraduate studies at Harvard College, I focused on the history and theory of art. I am originally from Sweden, and live in Tokyo.
