<h3>EcoVase</h3>
<p> A design anthropology-inspired concept that makes energy-saving tangible. </p>
<details>
<summary>The facts</summary>
<strong>Project year:</strong> 2023<br>
<strong>Timeframe:</strong> Completed in one semester<br>
<strong>Project type:</strong> Solo <br>
<strong>My role:</strong> Project Manager, interviewer, and concept creator</details>
<details>
<summary>The challenge</summary>
Many people want to save energy, but struggle to make sustainable habits a part of everyday life.
</details> <details>
<summary>The spark</summary>
The project was inspired by the 2022 energy crisis, where Europe experienced extreme energy price volatility and shortages
</details>
<details>
<summary>The process</summary>
<br/>
<ol>
<li><strong>Research ↔ User Studies</strong>: reviewed literature on energy-saving in households. Interviewed households to map their energy habits and awareness. </li>
<li><strong>User Studies ↔ Ideation</strong>: Generated concepts based on the interviews, including photographs and drawings of the household's energy consumption. </li>
<li><strong>Ideation ↔ Outcome</strong>: Prototyped three solutions. EcoVase emerged as the most sustainable one.</li>
</ol>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The solution </summary>
An interactive vase that displays real-time Nord Pool spot electricity prices, without nagging and electricity consumption
<br>
<strong>Why it matters: </strong>
<ol>
<li> It makes takes the abstract challenge of energy saving and transforms it into an everyday interaction </li>
<li> It shows how design can spark reflection and behavior change by meeting people where they are </li>
</ol>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The impact </summary>
Even at prototype stage, EcoVase demontrated how design anthropology can inform solutions that feel grounded in real human behavior.

<h3>Penguin Pong</h3>
<p>
A playful social robot designed to bring humor and joy into exam preparations.
</p>
<details>
<summary>The facts</summary>
<strong>Project year:</strong> 2021<br>
<strong>Timeframe:</strong> Completed in one semester<br>
<strong>Team:</strong> Charlotte Jensen and Klara Sejersen<br>
<strong>My role:</strong> UX designer, researcher and tester<br>
<strong>Framework:</strong><a href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262533706/positive-computing/" target="_blank" class="project-link"> Positive computing </a> <br>
<strong>Tools</strong> TinkerCad and Miro </details>
<details>
<summary>The challenge</summary>
Studying for exams is often stressful and isolating and it got even worse during the pandemic. Our goal was to make it less overwhelming and more enjoyable.
</details> <details>
<summary>The spark</summary>
The project came from a desire to reduce our own stress during exam preparations and drew inspiration from the positive computing framework, which emphasizes designing technology for well-being.
</details> <details>
<summary>The process</summary>
<br/>
<ol>
<li><strong>Research ↔ Personas & User Stories</strong> Explored stress in digital study environments. Created three personas and user stories to keep students' needs central.</li>
<li><strong>Personas & User Stories ↔ Bad Idea Workshop</strong>: Ran a "bad idea" workshop. Intentionally brainstoming impractical or silly ideas.This sparked many creative twists, one of which became Penguin Pong. </li>
<li><strong>Bad Idea Workshop ↔ Prototyping</strong> Developed multiple prototypes: some focused on looks, some om function, others on customizability. This ensured broad exploration.</li>
<li><strong>Prototyping ↔ Testing</strong> Tested with young studens. Their feedback helped refine its look and function. </li>
</ol><br>
</details><details>
<summary>The solution </summary>
A social robot that lightens the pressure of exam preparations by tossing soft balls at studenst when it's time for a break.
<br>
<strong>Why it matters: </strong>
<ol>
<li> It rethinks how design can support students' well-being. </li>
<li> It embraces humor and play as powerful design tools, showing that technology can care for us in unexpected ways </li>
</ol>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The impact </summary>
Our teacher saw the market potential in Penguin Pong and encouraged us to consult with The Kitchen, a startup hub for aspiring entrepreneurs from Aarhus University.

" alt="Ruth"><h3>Ruth</h3>
<p>A sex robot designed to question norms and provoke reflections on gender and sexuality. </p>
<details>
<summary>The facts </summary>
<strong>Project year:</strong> 2020 <br>
<strong>Timeframe:</strong> Completed in one semester <br>
<strong>Project type:</strong> solo <br>
<strong>My role:</strong> Project manager and product developer <br>
<strong>Framework:</strong> Reflexive design <br>
<strong>Tools:</strong> Play dough, arduino uno, arduino IDE, copper tape and copper wires
</details><details>
<summary>The challenge</summary>
The sex robot industry often reinforces stereotypical and narrow representations of women.
</details> <details>
<summary>The spark</summary>
The project was inspired by a desire to critically engage with cultural and technological norms.
</details> <details><summary>The process</summary>
<br/>
<ol>
<li><strong>Investigation of visual appearance ↔ Investigation of technology</strong>Analyzed Smart Doll World's catalog for visual tropes. Explored its technologies to understand their design implications. </li>
<li><strong>Investigation of available technology ↔ Product development</strong>Tinkered with materials and electronics while developing Ruth. Iteratively tested how tech choices affected design messaging about gender. </li>
<li><strong>Product development ↔ Investigation of visual appearance</strong>:Continuously revisited visual choices to ensure they effectively challenged conventional female representations while integrating functionality </li></ol>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The solution </summary>
A prototype combining electronics, tactile materials, and visual form, to provoke reflection rather than fulfill traditional expectations
<br>
<strong>Why it matters: </strong>
<ol>
<li> It reveals that design choices always carry values, shape perceptions, and influence society. </li>
<li> It embodies reflexive design practice, demonstrating how designers can use iteration to challenge cultural norms. </li>
<li> It proves I can handle complex, sensitive, and ethically charged topics with thoughtfulness </li>
</ol>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The impact </summary>
Ruth contributes to debates about ethics, representation and responsibility in technology

<h3>Alco Alarm</h3>
<p>A device and narrative that challenges cultural norms around alcohol consumption.
</p>
<details>
<summary>The facts</summary>
<strong>Project year:</strong> 2021<br>
<strong>Timeframe:</strong> Completed in one semester<br>
<strong>Project type:</strong> solo <br>
<strong>My role:</strong> project manager, product developer, and presenter<br>
<strong>Framework:</strong> Critical and adverserial design
</details> <details>
<summary>The challenge</summary>
Alcohol is deeply embedded in Danish culture, often unquestioned despite its social and health consequences. My goal was to provoke reflection and discussion about our alcohol habits.
</details> <details>
<summary>The spark</summary>
The project was inspired by personal observations on the current status of alcohol in Danish culture.
</details> <details>
<summary>The process</summary>
<br/>
<ol>
<li><strong>Problem Space ↔ Research Question</strong> Researched Danish alcohol habits and formulated a the question: "What if we altered the current status of alcohol in Danish culture?" </li>
<li><strong>Research Question ↔ Product Development</strong> Experimented with various concepts, materials, and technologies, leading to a functional Arduino-based prototype resembling a smoke detector </li>
<li><strong>Product Development ↔ Design Fiction</strong>: Built a scenario where alcohol was banned, contextualizing how the device would function and provoke reflection. </li>
<li><strong>Design Fiction ↔ Exhibition</strong>: Presented the Alco-Alarm at Dokk1 and engaged visitors in discussions to gather feedback and validate impact.</li>
</ol><br>
</details><details>
<summary>The solution </summary>
A conceptual device that activates and provides auditory alerts when alcohol is detected.
<br>
<strong>Why it matters: </strong>
<ol>
<li> It turns a cultural blink spot into a point of reflection. </li>
<li> It challenges how alcohol is normalized in society and shows how design can question cultural status quos rather than simply serving them </li>
</ol>
</details>
<details>
<summary>The impact </summary>
The alco alarm engages users in a personal and societal conversation about alcohol consumtion habits and cultural norms.
