Sensors and Senses
This course is an introduction to current thoughts in interaction design on embodiment and the senses, and its implications for the development of ubiquitous computing, interactive services, wearables and augmented reality environments. The course will also include an introduction to the fundamentals of digital electronics and sensors.
Design Theory
Action, Design and Gestaltung
This course is an introduction to contemporary thinking on design theory and critical design related to Interaction Design. The aim of the course is to encourage reflection and discussion on design based on its impact on social contexts, sustainability and global politics.
Experience Design
This course aims to give an introduction and concrete examples of experience design and its importance to interaction design. The course will present different themes within the area for experience design and the starting point will be sensuous qualities and desirability to service envy. The students will produce a Flash prototype of an experience for teenagers. The project will be based on fieldwork and tests with the user group
Dressed for Dependence
The backdrop of the workshop is the society of control. This theme has been explored extensively by engineers and designers, often resulting in the creation of security aware tools and rigid protections. Critically using naivety and trust this workshop probed new ways of approaching surveillance and control.

Primal Interfaces
This thesis is about exploring physical interfaces that are based on tactile stimulation. My aim was to explore sensory behaviours in physical interfaces that I call primal interfaces. Touch is a sense that has been much neglected in interface design, but can open many possibilities for future applications.

The Receptrotactile Kremble
The Receptrotactile Kremble is a tool and toy developed for an autistic center called the Nimbus.It was also my BA thesis work for the interaction design programme at K3, Malmö University
Other Assignments and Activities
In parallell to my other activities I partake in the endless adventure Desearch and Revelopment (RD for short). RD is a loosely held design collective that engages in all sorts of refreshing activities.
The last years I have been a thesis coordinator and a thesis advisor for the interaction design programme at the School of Arts and communication (K3), Malmö university.
