MIKKEL MATHIASEN

Designer · Artist · Explorer

Greetings!

That’s me right there.

I finished uni recently, and I’m now looking for work.

Experience design, concept development, storytelling, design fiction. Something like that.

Have a browse on this here site, and contact me if you want to work together.

Disciplines

Experience Design

Prototyping

Critical Design

Strategic Design

For we so easily fall into our algebraic habits that we miss the woods for the trees.

Design fiction, “slow” tech and art reframe defaults, and ask: “why this, and not otherwise?”

Cartography of cultural, technological and economic domains, inviting coherence and possibility.

Future projections, shaped in dialogue with the moving parts of the world.

A tender sketch born in clay, code or cardboard.

Making ideas visible and tangible — not to finish them, but to feel where they falter, sing, or surprise.

Weaving unseen currents into moments that linger.

Active perception and interactions manifest our experiences in space and time.

Design Thinking

Storytelling

An unfolding spiral of questions, insights and ideas.

Through collaborative iteration and experimentation do our ideas evolve.

Whether whispered, visualized or performed, stories are our softest way of shaping the world.

We relate, understand, and participate across the ether through our shared media.

Tangibility

My workflow is characteristic of my background in art, relying on my intuition and my senses. In my work, artistic practices and techniques combine with designerly theory and methodology, making for a tactile and informal design process.

Collaboration

I thrive in a democratic environment, and value openness and communal responsibility. I know the strengths of collaborative effort, and appreciate the contributions of others greatly.

  • Praxis

    My workflow unites designerly theory with artistic techniques and practices.

  • Synergy

    My communication style is accessible and adaptable, inviting cooperation and the exchanging of ideas.

  • Curiosity

    I enjoy the strange and unfamiliar; exploring creativity, ideation and prototyping.

  • Versatility

    My competencies cover areas of art, technology, design and culture, and I have worked many forms of media.
