Timo Arnall shot and edited this video of me working in the UID shops. Thank you Timo.

On the 28th of March 2009, Matt Jones, Timo Arnall, Jack Schulze, Adam Greenfield, Lennart Andersson, Mikael Wiberg and I spent a day talking about my masters thesis project. Many inspirational ideas were shared until late in the evening. Excellent fun in the shops, at the whiteboard and of course at the laser cutter.

These photos are all from Timo Arnall’s Flickr stream.

As part of my research work towards a masters thesis at Umeå Institute of Design, I lead in the organization of a one day conference in Sweden. Speakers are listed on the poster below. I owe many thanks to the school and its staff and students for their support as well as to Tellart for partially sponsoring the event.
