Jeg har arbejdet sammen med Mette i flere forskellige sammenhænge på Designskolen Kolding. Vi har arbejdet side om side som projektledere i hver vores projekt, jeg har refereret til hende i hendes tid som udviklingschef og vi har haft en fest med at undervise i designmetoder i Brasilien. I alle disse sammenhænge har det været en stor fornøjelse at arbejde sammen med Mette. Hun er en fortræffelig designer, chef og rejsepartner. Hendes faglighed er helt i top. Hendes sociale kompetencer er uovertrufne, hun har stor empati for andre mennesker, er lyttende og ydmyg, hun formår at samle, organisere og inspirerede de mennesker, hun arbejder sammen med. Jeg håber, vi skal arbejde sammen igen en dag!

      Mentorkorpset er udvalgt af et særligt udpeget ekspertpanel, som repræsenterer en bred viden om design; fra produkt- og servicedesign over designledelse og -strategi til branding og digitalisering. Over det næste år vil det være mentorernes opgave at bidrage til at højne standarden for designydelser i danske virksomheder og booste efterspørgslen på designkompetencer, -metoder og -processer. Mentorerne vil arbejde for at styrke små og mellemstore virksomheders forretningsudvikling ved at kvalificere deres brug af designere og designmetoder. Ambitionen er, at virksomhederne dermed rustes bedre til at forstå deres kunder og udvikle nye koncepter, prototyper, forretningsmodeller og konkrete løsninger, der skaber en øget værdi for brugeren. Disse opgaver er mere presserende end nogensinde før, hvor eksisterende forretningsmodeller udfordres af nye digitale muligheder, globalisering og skift i markederne. Show less

      I have left my position as Prorector and Head of Development at the Design School Kolding, since I would like to challenge the life as a free lance designer. The School has appointed me a Honorary Professor within Service and Strategic design- which makes me proud - and humble.

      I work as Vice Dean of the Kolding School of Design, a design University in Denmark.I run projects in our Design LAB that helps us understand the limits of design. We work from the principle of ‘doing is thinking’ with a praxis based design approach. We aim at identifying business opportunities and other opportunity spaces in relation to products, services and systems, together with stakeholders in public, private and political fora. I am also in charge of International Relations at the University. Show less

      Project manager for a project that was to identify drivers and barriers in relation to implementing electric cars in Denmark - from the user's point of view.

      I have a background as a trained weaver and have for many years practiced as a designer / manager within textile and furniture industries. I have constantly been challenged to formulate – and practice – how management through design could contribute to business strategies and bottom line figures. My work has among others been articulated in relation to major players in the European furniture business.
