Profile

Node by Skak is my company. Node stands for Nordic design by me. I am dedicated to create modern Nordic design, which is global agile. The innovative design process where creativity and requirements meets is my favorite workplace. In Node by Skak I work with diverse businesses, and challenge their brand into innovation and materialization.

I have a master degree in textile design from Designskolen Kolding. I have been working as a Living designer for 12 years. Furthermore, I have an additional higher learning education in graphic design from MMI. I regularly take on assignments with reference to this education.

As textile design rarely can be seen as an isolated topic, but often operates in close context with another area of design, i.e. fashion-, interior-, room or object based design, it is imperative to take the solidarity of the field into consideration. In my working life I have had opportunities to work with holistic design. As a result, I have extensive knowledge of the majority of the working- and design processes that ensure this solidarity. I think it is a job well done, when design, quality and the price of production form a synthesis.

Throughout the last 6 years I have operated within an international design market for various clients. An important aspect of designing is the ability to spot new trends. This ability, combined with my extensive knowledge in applying and adapting these trends within an international/Nordic design frame, is one of my strongest assets as a designer. Personally, it means that I expect a lot from my designs. Conceptually, creatively as well as commercially, it is important that my designs are of a very high standard.
