Jeg er rundet af et kunstnermiljø, og er opvokset med en far, som var billedhuggeren Morten Nielsen, med eget atelier i mit barndomshjem, hvor jeg tilbragte meget tid på at tegne. Jeg har tegnet, siden jeg var barn og opdraget til at se og opleve kunst. Fantasien og skabertrangen har altid været til stede. Dette blev yderligere forstærket i male -og tegnelokalet på Bernadotteskolen. Arkitektur har ligeledes været en stor del af mit liv, og her blev min interesse vakt hos min morfar, arkitekt Mogens Lassen i hans funkisvilla i Klampenborg, hvor vi igennem mit studie på kunstakademiets Arkitektskole havde nogle inspirerende snakke om projekterne. Alt i alt havde jeg en god ballast med mig hjemmefra, da jeg begyndte på Arkitektskolen, hvor jeg fik en professionalisering igennem studiet, og hvor kunst og arkitektur blev sat i relief.

I am a product of a creative (an artist) environment, where I grew up with my father Morten Nielsen, who was a sculptor. In my childhood home, we had an atelier, where I spent a lot of time drawing. Hence, I have been drawing since early childhood and was raised to experience and live amongst art. My fantasy and my urge to create has always been a part of me and was greatly enlarged in the painting- and drawing studio at Bernadotteskolen. Furthermore, architecture has been a great part of my life, where my interest was awoken by my grandfather, architect Mogens Lassen in his funkisvilla in Klampenborg. During my time in architect school at the Royal Academy of Arts in Denmark, my grandfather and I had many inspiring discussions regarding my projects. In total, I had a great ballast when starting in architect school, where I obtained a professionalization throughout the studies and where art and architecture was put in relief.
