Some of my skills

At Aalborg University, much of the learning takes place through Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and group work, where practical tasks and real-world problems are central. Working closely with classmates, companies, and end-users allows me to develop a deep understanding of design challenges and effective teamwork. This collaborative approach teaches not only technical skills but also communication, responsibility, and project management. Learning by doing through projects and constant feedback ensures that theoretical knowledge is directly applied and tested in practice. Through this process, I have gained a wide range of skills, including 3D modeling, rendering, FEM analysis, LCA, working drawings, prototype building, user-centered design, production methods, design optimization, and effective group collaboration.

3D Modeling

I have a solid understanding of both Fusion 360 and SolidWorks. I have used these programs throughout various university projects as well as in my spare time. I’m able to take a concept from sketch to a fully developed 3D model and perform relevant analyses and calculations directly within the software. These tools allow me to work efficiently with both form development and technical functionality.

Rendering

I primarily render using KeyShot, working with 3D models that I have created myself. I have a good understanding of how to set up a scene and how to work with materials – including creating custom materials that align with the design language of the product.
I typically finalize the renders in Photoshop to polish the images and create presentation-ready visuals.

FEM Analysis

I am capable of performing calculations both by hand and using simulation tools in SolidWorks and Fusion 360. This allows me to validate simulation results with manual estimates, ensuring greater accuracy and reliability. Before a design is fully dimensioned, I often perform quick hand calculations—for example, to estimate wall thickness or assess basic structural behavior. This combination of analytical understanding and digital simulation enables me to make more informed design decisions early in the development process.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

I have worked with LCA using SimaPro, where I received a solid introduction to the fundamentals of life cycle assessment, primarily based on industry-standard databases. Since then, I have explored the software further on my own and developed a broader and deeper understanding of its capabilities. This has enabled me to integrate LCA more actively into the design process — particularly in relation to material selection, production methods, and end-of-life considerations. I see LCA as a valuable tool for making informed, sustainability-focused design decisions.

Technical Drawings

I am capable of creating basic working drawings in both SolidWorks and Fusion 360. I have a good understanding of tolerances when designing or documenting parts, and I know how to identify and prioritize the most critical dimensions on a technical drawing. Additionally, I am familiar with how to read and structure drawings according to international standards, ensuring they are clear, consistent, and ready for production or communication across disciplines.

Prototyping

At university, projects have typically ranged from a few weeks to a few months, often with fast-paced development processes. As a result, I have built a large number of quick and rough prototypes, giving me broad experience in working with different materials for various types of testing — including user testing, functional trials, and internal evaluations.

My strongest skill within prototyping is 3D printing, where I’m confident in producing detailed and functional prototypes. I also have experience working with metal to some extent. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with steel-reinforced 3D prints — an area I find promising, but which I’m still exploring and learning to master.

User-Centered Design

I have gained strong skills in analyzing and understanding user needs through research methods such as interviews, observations, and user journey mapping. This enables me to develop products that are intuitive, functional, and tailored to the target group. In a professional setting, I can contribute with user-focused design that reduces user error, increases satisfaction, and creates more competitive solutions. I ensure that user insights are integrated throughout the entire process — from initial concept to final product.

Production Method Understanding

Through working with various manufacturing methods, I have learned to design with realistic production constraints in mind. I can select appropriate materials and ensure that the design aligns with the company’s production setup — for example, by minimizing complexity, the number of parts, and material waste. In a professional context, this enables me to contribute to more efficient product realization, reduced production costs, and fewer adjustments between design and manufacturing.

Design Optimization

I have experience in analyzing and improving products with a focus on functionality, durability, and sustainability. Using tools such as FEM analysis and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), I can document and justify design decisions based on both technical and environmental insights. In a professional setting, I can contribute with data-driven optimization that enhances product quality, reduces resource consumption, and extends product lifespan — all while maintaining a clear focus on user needs and business objectives.

Team Collaboration

I am experienced in working within project teams where coordination, clear communication, and accountability are key elements. I can collaborate effectively with designers, engineers, and external partners to ensure progress in complex projects. In the workplace, I take responsibility both for my own tasks and the overall delivery — contributing to efficient, structured, and constructive teamwork within development departments or interdisciplinary teams.
