About

I’m a 23-year-old designer from Stockholm, currently studying my first term in the MFA programme in interaction design at Umeå Institute of Design.To me, being a designer means acting as a translator and mediator between users and use. I always want to challenge and expand my understanding of design and its potential, allowing me to make deliberate, informed decisions and confidently stand behind the outcome.

Eduba is a post-digital learning tool designed for the middle school classroom. The project addresses a key challenge in today’s education system: the increasing reliance on personal laptops, which often leads to distraction, unclear workflows, and reduced tactile interaction. Rather than treating digital devices as separate objects, Eduba integrates technology directly into the student’s desk. By combining a touch-based work surface with pen input and a physical workspace, the design creates a more focused and structured learning environment. The project explores how physical form can support concentration, clarity, and meaningful use of digital tools in education.
