About
Interactive designer specializing in design systems, interaction design, and UI/UX. Currently at Kontrapunkt, where I design digital concepts and build design systems across client projects.
I studied Interactive Design at DMJX and Media Design at NEXT. Before Kontrapunkt I spent three years at Manyone as a design apprentice, working mostly on design systems across digital and brand projects.
CV
I'm an interactive designer with a soft spot for design systems: the structure that lets a brand stay consistent while still having room to grow. At Kontrapunkt I've built design systems for NEC, one of Japan's largest technology companies, and a smaller themed system for Den Kongelige Samling's new website, alongside design guidelines for a range of Danish and international companies. Before that I spent three years at Manyone, where I helped build the design system that still powers PensionDanmark's website and self-service today.
