I am incredibly proud and honored to receive my 4th Design Award this year.
It is very overwhelming to be recognized to such an extent for my design on the international stage, but I am equally proud to be able to promote Greenland through my design.
This time I have received the award from Slovenia Big See Award Product Design 2023.
Thank you so very much Slovenia!

COOPERATIONS
Various partners over time.
ARTs
Concrete figures in Nuuk's new district, Qinngorput.
There are some individual things I have created that I am extra proud of and that I would like to highlight here.
QUEENS PATTERN
One is that I have had the enormous honor of designing a scarf for Queen Margrethe of Denmark on behalf of Kommuneqarfik Sermersooq.
It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I am particularly proud of.
I received a letter of thanks from the Queen's private secretary, who wrote that HM was happy with the scarf.
The scarf is designed with my classic inuk figures in fresh colors and added a little extra, so that the pattern became the Queen's very own pattern. That's why I call it the 'Queens pattern'.
BENETTON
The other thing I am very proud of is that I have contributed two small pieces of art to the Italian fashion designer Benetton's project
Imago Mundi.
One is a definite painting of my Greenlandic masks and the other is the classic Inuk motifs cut out of plexiglass with a mirror effect, so it looks like drift ice.
They have been exhibited in Italy and are included in the book that Bennetton has written.
I am also very proud of that.
The third thing I am very proud and touched about is that I have received 3 international awards within 6 months.
German Design Award 2023
Iconic Award 2023
Houzee Award GOLD 2023
and
Greenland Culture Prize 2023.
It is with humility that we receive these great recognitions for our work and for putting the design on the international stage.
