My work is inspired by designers such as Katsumi Masaru and Otl Aicher. The Danish road signs by Ole Søndergaard are my favorite icons, as they show as well simplification as also sympathy.

A Further inspiration is the work of Walter Crane and Karl Arnold. Artists and designers have always tried to forecast the future and to capture their visions with sketches. The sketch above is by Karl Arnold and shows how he has imagined mobile phones for the magazine Simplicissimus in 1926.

Often my drawings are based on conversations with diverse people about their experiences, thoughts and visions.
