The project began with three organic shapes: a triangle, circle, and rectangle, to explore perspective and interior theory, while allowing fluidity throughout the composition. Furniture was then introduced along a sightline, with a dining table anchoring the view to create an inviting rather than obstructed entrance. Keeping furniture minimal was essential, letting the organic shapes speak for themselves while balancing privacy and openness throughout the space.

This set design for Act II, Scene 18 of Puccini's Madama Butterfly captures the moment Cio-Cio-San spots Pinkerton's ship and, overcome with excitement, decorates the house with flowers before the three hide behind shoji screens to await his arrival. Layered Japanese architectural frames, mesh screens, and a blue gradient backdrop work together to convey her anticipation and the passage of time. Strategic lighting and color symbolism explore the emotional tension between hope and reality.

Inspired by Scandinavian architecture's minimalism and sustainability, this small urban home was designed for Copenhagen's King's Garden to maximize space while providing access to public recreation and natural light. Polycarbonate panels wrap the exterior to optimize sunlight and insulation against Copenhagen's harsh winters. The interior layout uses an efficient organizational strategy to fit a full bathroom and sleeping area within a compact footprint.

For this project, a branding campaign was developed for Nomad Coffee centered around a sustainable watercolor paint made from coffee grounds and natural ingredients like blueberry powder, rhubarb, and flower petals. The product merges creativity with sustainability, offering a unique and organic artistic medium tied to the brand's identity.
