Collection Spirits

An exclusive spirits company focused on both B2B and B2C initially had a pure branding site developed in WordPress, using custom templates without third-party themes. The shop was originally separate and built in Shopify, with a completely different look and feel. To strengthen the brand experience, the shop was later integrated directly into the existing site. Aesthetics and functionality were unified, allowing users to add products to their cart directly from, for example, search results—without disrupting the experience. #graphicdesigner #webdesigner #graphicdesigner #frontend #backend

Danish Acting Union

A central goal in this website project was to enable the federation's communications department to create and edit content themselves—without compromising the visual identity. It was important that new content would automatically follow the established style defined in their style guide. The site contains around 140 pages of content covering topics such as culture, lifestyle, regulations, and statutes. The delivery consisted of flexible layout components that can be freely combined. The visual appearance is built into each component, allowing editors to focus on the content—not the design. #graphicdesigner #webdesigner #designer #webdeveloper #frontend #ux

Aveny

Aveny is a business with both physical stores and a massive webshop featuring over 20,000 different products! I was hired to update and modernize their shop design and refine the user experience. Each of their products contains a wide range of information displayed beneath the product on the webshop. With so much data to navigate, one of the key challenges was making it easily accessible and user-friendly. #illustrator #designer #ux #figma #ui

Biofolic Hair-Growth Center

Here, I helped build a complete webshop that supported both the sale of traditional products and products tied to treatments through various subscription models — each with individual calendars to manage every customer's treatment schedule. The style is clinical and clean but contrasted with bold colors to shift the concept more towards a lifestyle-oriented feel. #webdesigner #frontenddeveloper #illustrator

Christiania Bikes

Christiania Smedie is the birthplace of the famous original Christiania Bike. In 2019, they wanted a new webshop with a better-integrated configuration module. This meant that customers should be able to build their own bike by selecting the equipment they wanted—automatically affecting both the total price and the stock levels of each part. The design was created to give the feeling of standing inside a virtual version of the workshop. It’s raw, yet colorful, warm, and engaging. #graphicdesigner #branding #webdesigner #frontend #ux #ui #webshop #woocommerce
