Copenhagen (home) · Munich office, Sep–Dec 2026

I am a brand designer who went from fast-paced B2C agency work to building B2B SaaS brands.

Previous work

Graphic Designer & Project Lead at MediaK · Agency B2C · Copenhagen · May 2022 – Jan 2025

How I fit into the team

How I work

Function first. Then the magic.

I document every iteration, from first idea to final decision. Approval today, clarity tomorrow, and a design base that lasts.

  1. 01

    Ground it

    Low-fidelity design, grounded in first thoughts and research.

  2. 02

    Loop it

    Feedback loops with copywriters, developers and everyone else who shapes the work.

  3. 03

    Systemise it

    A design system when it’s needed, from tokens to components. Where AI saves time, it joins the workflow: the Lead Machine is being built with Claude.

  4. 04 · My favourite part

    The magic

    Beautiful visuals. Thoughtful animation. The moment it all comes alive.

I came to design for the aesthetics and stayed for what it does: turning complex information into something people actually understand.

Aalborg2013–2018 · Philosophy, then multimedia design

Big thoughts need a creative outlet.

I studied philosophy at Aalborg University (2013–2015) and loved thinking about big topics. But I needed to create, and I wanted an education I could travel with. Multimedia design (2016–2018) sparked something and kickstarted my journey through marketing. My first job was as a paid specialist at CompanYoung.
