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

I am a brand designer with 10+ years of experience: 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.

    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.

About

Good craft, and the curiosity to keep growing it.

Studying, working and living in Aalborg, Copenhagen, Mexico, LA, Eindhoven, Vienna and now Munich taught me that good ideas have to travel. I keep the big picture in view, write decisions down so nothing depends on memory, and bring skilled people in early. That’s how a brand stays consistent from the first sketch to the last channel it lands on.

  • Brands that show up the same everywhere. I keep the website, photography, video and content speaking with one voice.
  • Shipped, not just designed. With HR, I set the visual direction and photo/video shoot for a careers site that’s now live.
  • In market right now. I’m building a lead-generation content system with the German team, rolling out through January.
  • Design with a business goal. Every page has a job, and I design to balance what users need with what the business needs from them.
  • I can build it myself. I work in whatever stack your team already uses, or I can recommend one if you’re starting fresh. Either way, campaign and landing pages don’t have to wait in a dev queue.
  • Reliable under deadlines. I’m easy to work with, persistent, and I finish what I start.
