About me
I'm a young graphic designer and artist based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
My journey started out with photography, but at university, I quickly fell in love with graphic design and received my Bachelor's degree in it.
In graphic design, I love everything from creating logos and brand identities to motion graphics and illustration. I like to challenge myself with new projects and find creative ways of solving problems.
Currently, I'm doing an online course in UI/UX design, because it's something I'd like to learn and maybe pursue a career in, in the future.
As a person, I'm attentive and methodical, I like to double-check every project I work on. I've been told by employers that I learn quickly, and my personal friends describe me as open, warm and passionate. Besides art, my hobbies include sports and learning languages.
