PhD and UX Specialist
RESUME
Summary
I am a Danish self-driven user researcher with broad background in human-centered design concerning digital physical products (IoT) and services. My passion when it comes to design research is really the intersection between humans and technology. I am currently located in Copenhagen working as a user researcher for 3Shape - a Danish company making intra oral scanners. Since their products are a combination of SW and HW my research covers various areas. From early state need finding and concept testing till later stage usability tests. Further, Im excited about working with highly motivated people, which is why I have taken big parts in several different start-ups.
