About

I am a Designer and Illustrator who wants to bring people closer together through stories and meaningful experiences. I value a collaborative work environment where employees can share ideas and feel part of a team. I’m a social and curious person with a love for reading, coffee talks, food, and collecting rocks.

I hold a MA in Play Design from Design School Kolding, where I used play theory to create meaningful experiences that allow people to engage more joyfully in their work and everyday life. I’m experienced in using design thinking and workshop facilitation to encourage creativity and collaboration. Previously, I earned a BFA in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design, absorbing both traditional and digital media techniques and learning to give and receive critical feedback.
