Umeå
Hi there. I’m Simon and I was born and raised in Umeå in the far north of Sweden. I’m an enthusiastic designer with a passion for beautiful aesthetics and genuine design solutions, with a strong user centered approach.
I have a strong foundation in the design process and its various methods, innate curiosity, and a hands on approach to design with great prototyping skills—which I’ve employed for everything ranging from adjustable prosthetic sockets to full scale vehicle mock ups with adjustable interiors.
As a person I´m optimistic, organized, and structured, and consider myself to be a good team
player. Try, fail, and try again is my approach to learning and to succeeding. I’m detail oriented, observant, and have good technical knowledge and understanding of materials and production methods. I tend to find a interesting angle in every challenge or project that comes my way, whatever it might be.
Outside of work, I’m a vintage car loving sauna enthusiast, physically active, and I feed my design passion with side projects, travel, and photography.
Right now I´m working at Design Partners in Dublin, Ireland.

Employment
The typical industrial design software toolkit: Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Rhino, Keyshot etc. I also enjoy photography and producing videos, both for documentation and visualization, and just for fun. I like to think of myself as a workshop ninja who can prototype almost anything from almost anything and I’m also an EU certified forklift driver, for those random heavy-lifting moments.

LIM Infinity socket
How do you prototype a prosthetic leg?
LIM Infinite SocketClient work 2014 at Smart Design• Ideation and prototyping• Helping develop the soft goods interface • Collaboration with LIM Innovations
Traditional methods, handcrafted and rigid.
Innovation in the knees and legs
There have been a lot of innovative and technical advancements within the prosthetic industry in recent years: bionically controlled ankles, computerized knees and 3D printed custom parts. However, little has been done to the prosthetic socket—the single part that interfaces directly with
the human body. LIM Infinite Socket is a modular adjustable prosthetic socket that allows the user to adjust tensioning as needed and allows for size changes in the residual limb. We comparatively took the socket from a hand-made wooden clog to a hi-tech sneaker.
Traditional rigid suction socket.
Introduction
Create, test, and evolve. Trial and error with multiple mock ups to try and discover the right solution. As we couldn’t test the prototypes on ourselves as we built them, we developed various testing rigs to support the prototyping process.
With any means necessary
Creating a modular system. One goal was to create a socket that could be assembled with pre-made components, which in turn could be easily custom fit for each unique user.
Scanning the patient’s residual limb provides data
for forming the custom carbon fibre struts to fit the
body.
3D scanning each patient
Designing for easy manufacturing
Evolution After the initial problems were solved and a concept direction was determined the client continued the soft goods development in-house and Smart Design took a more supportive role attending user fittings and design refinement sessions.

ventumMaster thesis - 20 Weeks | 2013• Medical design• In collaboration with Norrlands University hospital
Can we give meaningful freedom of movement to children tethered to breathing-assistance equipment?
A respiratory system that allows more freedom of movement for the user and increased inde-pendence. A body worn light weight solution that is targeted to enable play and movement.
Being able to have an active life with freedom of movement is something that should be everyone’s right—regardless of the need for life support equipment. To simplify treatment and therefore increase quality of life for both child and parents
The target group is children primarily in the age of 0-6 years that are in need of respiratory treatment.
The solution is meant to be mobile and work both in private and in hospital environments.

Firefighter Martin Feuk shows how to use a fire blanket in an efficient and nondestructive way of putting out fires.
Smoke alarms are very good and help save life and property, however they only trigger when something is already wrong.
I want to create a solution that increases awareness and can remind users about their actions. Something that can alert users before a problem occurs, giving you a chance to prevent fires.
How can I help prevent stove fires?

Ideation
A wireless awareness and warning system for stoves in private homes, indicating what’s happening on the stove in other rooms. The Beacon lights up as soon as the stove powers on and immediately starts reminding you.
A large number of stove related fires today happen because of unexpected incidents and because of pure forgetfulness. Beacon’s subtile, elegant notification light keeps the user aware of their stove usage.
The target group is the majority of stove users. The idea is to design a minimum effort system enabling use at all times.
The intelligent ‘brain’ of the concept is the induction cook top located in the kitchen and the beacon(s) are portable and can be used wherever suitable—in the living room, bedroom, or the laundry room, wherever the user needs reminding.

At work i´m social but not to personal. I don´t really fit in with my colleagues so we don´t really have any interaction with each other outside of work. I spend a lot of time with my family and one of the few occasions i get to meet my friends is when we go for our power walks.
I see myself as a quite calm person. I´m hard working and really want to do my best. Unfortunately i´m a little bit sloppy and often forget things such as keys, mobile phone etc. i like my privacy and don´t reveal to much of my personal life to others than my family.
in general i like my life. I have a nice house even do it still needs a lot of renovation. A great husband and beautiful kids. My work is good but it´s not really what i want to do. I would like to work with my hands and take my big interest of gardening to a another level and find a way to work with that full time.
I got to know that i have asthma just two months ago. It haven´t really sunk in yet and i haven´t told anyone at work about it. Not even my kids know. Before i can tell them anything i want to know more. I know that they are going to ask a lot of questions and right now i cant answer them. i responded hardest on allergens from grass, pollen, and strong smells. How is this going to affect my biggest interest of gardening?
How does my asthma affect my possibilities to keep on working in the garden? Can i still doe it or is it going to hard for me? And i don´t want to quit my power walking. That´s one of the highlights of my
week when i can get some fresh air and exercise with my girlfriends.
I have a really hard time to get used to this inhaler thing. I keep forgetting it all the time. I mean it´s hard enough for me to remember my keys and mobile phone and now this thing. The medication is already affecting me and i want to use it as little as i can. Some days i feel really good and don´t want to take the medication at all but still i know that i´m supposed to take it everyday as a preventive measure.

I think i´m a really social person. Through my job i´m meeting and interacting with new and interesting people every day and I really like the challenges that my work offers. Regardless of it´s to come up with fresh ideas for a new advert campaign or persuade a client that our way is better than their way. I think i have the roll as the strong leader in the company and i feel that my co-workers depend a lot on me. At my spare time I try to spend as much time as possible with my family and my spare time interests. I just love to take everyone for a weekend camping trip or to go and kayaking with my buddies. My friends is important to me and when we meet we always have a good time but we rarely talks about deeper stuff.
It´s a little bit hard to say. I see my self as a strong person with a great sense of responsibility. I´m often concerned how other people are feeling and i want to be there for them. I can look calm on the outside but the stress still affects me on the inside. I rarely show my weaknesses and are actually a little bit afraid to do so.
I think i met a lot of the goals i had set up for my life. I have a nice job, a beautiful wife and two amazing kids. I can provide for my self and for my family an have enough to be able to live a good life.
I was diagnosed with asthma just a few weeks ago. I knew that i had some problems breathing in the past but i always ignored them and blamed it on something else like that I strain myself to hard or something like that. But lately it has come clear that there were something else. The shortness off breath came more frequently and felt a little bit stronger every time. I didn´t really want to admit to my self that it could be something serious but finally i couldn´t ignore any longer. After doing some initial test with spirometers, NO exhalation tests and finally a spot test to see what allergens i would react to it stud clear that i had asthma. I got strain asthma and also responded slightly on both grass and pollen.
I don´t really know that much about asthma and i don´t really feel that i have a good source of information. What can I do? Can i still keep on doing all my spare time activities? Can I have full control over my life or do I have to put my trust to doctors?
I need information. I mean I always have the possibility to search the internet for information but what can I trust and I want it explained in a clear and simple way. I would like to have somewhere to go for information and a way to control my disease. Something that i can use at home and that helps me stay on top of my disease and helps me understand whats happening. I really like electronic gadgets, so maybe it could be something like that?

You can still live your life as you did before. You have to be careful around fur animals and make
sure that you always have your inhaler near by. The reactions to food and in your case nuts we
are not 100% sure if it is something else that can trigger a reaction. We want you to still keep on
enjoying food but be a little bit observant of what you eat and if you get a response please not
it down for further investigation. It´s very important that you keep on taking your medication on
a regular basis. This is critical for you to maintain a good health and avoiding emergency attacks.
Asthma is a chronical disease and are basically an inflammation in your airways. Treated right
with regular medications you should be able to live your life without any bigger complications
