I am a graphic designer and illustrator working in Copenhagen and Brighton. I create visual designs for advertising, and promotion as well as for my own pure joy. Whether it be digital representation like websites, banners, infographics, and logos or printed materials such as wall illustrations, posters, books, brochures, cards, etc. I am here to help. With over seven years of professional experience and a wide range of clients, my goal is always to make meaningful, thoughtful designs that make people happy and has long-lasting effect.

My story as a designer

For as long as I can remember I have been memorising, organising, arranging, and designing shapes in my head. In my mind, I can still bring up detailed pictures of ripped wallpaper shapes from my childhood bedroom. My mind works in pictures and it is always on some quest to find a balance between chaos and order in a visual sense, and it gives me great satisfaction when the two worlds meet to create something special that “just feels right!”. A combination of logic, good judgment, experience, and intuition is the key.

 

My journey as a designer began, in a more real sense, after I had finished a national diploma in art and design at Northbrook College in England and got offered a year's work placement for a graphic design consultancy in Brighton. Here I got my first experience in working professionally and directly with clients, from concept to visuals – and then production and print. The work I was involved with ranged from web design, animation, graphic design & Illustration. It was also here I started getting more to grips with Photoshop, Illustrator, and other Adobe programs, spending many hours reworking and tidying brochures for housing companies in London. 

 

A few years later, after some traveling and smaller jobs, I completed a bachelor's degree in Digital Media Design at Brighton University. I was like a sponge during this time, soaking up so much knowledge and getting to grips with many new multimedia practices. I visited a lot of museums and listened to artists' talks and different professionals from the industry. There were many critical theory discussions and some long dissertations written. I loved every minute of it and came out with a first degree honours.

 

The education led to employment in two different web design companies in England, the first being a small company, where I was thrown in at the deep end by being the only employee with design experience. This meant a steep learning curve where I quickly worked independently on designs for websites, banners, blogs, newsletters, prints, etc. The second job was in a much bigger company, where we were a larger team working together on projects. It was here I got a much better understanding of how projects could run through different phases, and how a team could work together with individual roles to get the best result. There was a UX team creating wireframes and doing user testing, a back-end and front-end team of developers, and a design team that I was part of. It was fun to work in a bigger group and it also meant some really amazing projects for high-end clients. As part of the design team I visited big museums, we worked for,  in both America and London. We produced apps, websites, and digital solutions for them and were the leading company in providing museums with a platform to archive and filter through their huge amounts of artifacts and information.

 

I now live in Copenhagen, where I am originally from, and have moved into self-employment to enable me a flexible working life with more freedom to work on different projects, as well as have more time with my family. I have a 5-year-old son and an English boyfriend and we enjoy life both in Denmark and England where we travel between often.

 

When the clock shows 12:12 it is neat, meaningful and beautiful, just like good design should be.
