About

I’m a designer and creative developer from Copenhagen with a passion for branding, digital experiences, motion design, and creative technology. As co-founder of 9tofive, I’ve helped startups, cultural organizations, and growing companies create everything from visual identities and websites to interactive experiences and animations.

I combine strong design skills with hands-on technical knowledge, making me equally comfortable developing ideas, designing concepts, and bringing them to life.

Developed the visual identity for Novo Nordisk’s internal R&ED (Research & Early Development) festival, in collaboration with Event Republic. The identity was built around curiosity, movement, and innovation — using molecular structures as a graphic foundation across animations, interactive elements, and all event touchpoints. As a post-event bonus, I built a live web tool where employees could enter their name and generate a personalised molecule GIF.

Designed and built the Shopify storefront for Zynq, a Danish CBD brand. Handled UX, UI, and implementation with a focus on a clean, scalable structure that reflects the visual identity created by Nimble.

Alongside the site, I produced 3D product mockups used both as placeholder content during launch and as reusable assets for social media.

Created a new design language for Birdie, an indoor air quality app. Built around the symbolism of the canary bird, the visual system uses custom illustrations to make complex data — mold risk, temperature, air quality index, and pollen levels — immediately readable and intuitive.
