I was born and raised just north from Copenhagen in a small town, Virum, with my parents, twinsister and 2 year older brother. Here I went to school and was a scout, from I was 6 years till I was 18.

After I turned 18 I then started as a scout leader. It has taught me a lot about working with kids, giving me skills when in nature, building a place to sleep, making fire and such. Being independent, having the confidence to be myself and being social.

Being a scout has also given me the skills to work together in groups to reach the same goal, by problem solving on various tasks on our hikes and camps, leadership on teams and how to think creative and “out of the box”.

I love to travel and get new challenges, get out of my comfort zone and find the experiences where I evolve the most as a person. Therefor in 2014 I decided to study Graphic Design via Middlesex University on Marbella Design Academy in the south of Spain. I gave me design projects where I could then learn and grow as a creative.

In the summer 2017 I worked on a youth camp in Maine, USA for 2 months, and then I traveled around California, Las Vegas and New York. Where I get new impressions, inspiration and meeting new people and cultures, giving me a new view on the world and a better understanding of life.

A big part of my free time also goes with sailing and in November 2021 I boardet a 56 foot Bavaria on tenerife, where I then sailed to Cape Verde and Barbados here I celebrated Christmas and then I flew to New York to celebrate new year and travel on the east side of USA.

In September 2022 I moved to Ireland to work as a content moderator for Accenture Until June 2023, and in August 2023 I bought my first boat, a Drabant22. And I then started my 9 months on Reklamelinjen (Now The Danish Commercial School, Den Danske Reklameskole) which has been a great experience getting to be creative, learning about the commercial industry and getting a big network within.

Feel free to contact me, for any small and big creative jobs you need a design for. I work in all the Adobe programs.
