02 GYLDENDAL NORSK FORLAG

Main designer on the creation of a new module for Gyldendals E-learning platform Skolestudio.  
The module aims to encourage and facilitate more discussion and collaboration in the classroom by activly using the students own answers and reflections as the source material while the teacher takes on the roll of moderator. With toggleable anonymity and a set of simple tools like voting a variety of formats and themes are considered.

05 MASTER THESIS - GREEN DATA

Green Data is a design project about data consumption, change of habits and ripple effects in the context of the digital green shift. The project explores how to create a broader understanding of how data consumption affects the environment and how we can design digital products that slows the environment impact of consumer data usage rather than accelerate it.
