MIKKEL MATHIASEN

Designer · Artist · Explorer

Greetings!

That’s me right there.

A recent university graduate, looking for work.

I make design thinking and artistic principles come together for a critical and experience-oriented design approach.

I’ve worked across media — graphic design, media art, robotic prototypes, theatre, installation art and more — always with curiosity, empathy, and a touch of drama.

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.

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

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

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

Design Thinking

Storytelling

Through collaborative iteration and experimentation do our ideas evolve.

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