Hi, I'm Erik.
I help companies engineer & design
products in a creative manner.
I am a committed and social person who loves to come up with new inventions and solve technical problems. On my spare time, I work on building and design products, you can see some project if you scroll down. When I started Mechanical Engineering with Industrial design, I felt that I found my place, as it meant a combination of aesthetic, technology and the opportunity to work with people.
My master thesis was performed in collaboration with Axis Communication, where I developed and designed a new intercom with a focus on UX.
This project was about to develop a cattle tracker with a focus on plastic properties. The result was that it's made out of polyaramids PA6 where 30% comes from recycled sources. And for the button and seals, it's made for TPE-U.
This is a bird feeder that I have the designed. It's designed in so when received in a flat package you will put together like a 3d-puzzle. I came up with this idea to adapt to the lockdown lifestyles that are affecting the world. This product makes it possible for users to feed birds from their apartments since it's attached to your windowsills.
Formula Student is the most significant engineering competition in the world. All universities develop a new car and then goes to the competitions during the summer season Competition against other universities. I was in the Lund team for the LFS-17 car where I worked with the engine and its subsystems.
During autumn 2018, I went to Delft in Holland for my exchange studies. I join DUT-19 team. There I had the role with the ergonomics of the car.
This stool has been designed with simplicity in mind. It has only four different forms from plywood. Its completely free from screws, glue and fasteners. It's possible to fold it up for convenient storage.
The idea I got was quite simple to change the top tube to a solid piece of wood. It is a bit of a riddle to figure out how it is manufactured. The bike in the picture is the second iteration where I decided to change the welding procedure to get better results. I am also into Ebike conversions, so feel free to reach out and ask if you're curious.
