More Info

I’m a designer based in Copenhagen working with visual identity, art direction and graphic design. I help clients express who they are by visualizing their beliefs through creative and conceptual design solutions based on an analytical and research-driven approach. Doing that I engage in a wide variety of task across multiple media – ranging from identity and digital applications to editorial and moving images. Currently I'm working as a senior designer at Barkas. Feel free to get in touch for more information, new projects, commissions or collaborations.

Visual identity for Pedestal, a danish design company producing contemporary, universal TV stands and screen accessories. The logo was designed to celebrate the bended shapes of the products and making it useful as a lettermark as well was important to have brand recognition on small products like cables and other accessories. The colourful noise is a digital translation of an analogue reference inspired by an era when TV’s looked their best. Typeface, FK Display & Suisse Int'l. Done at Barkas.
