ABOUT ME
On January 27th 2015 I left the Danish Deign scool with a big smile and a large box of sketches and mug-ups of my final project – ready to conqure the world of visuals. I work part time illustrating for the daily newspaper Information. The challenge of quick ideageneration and execution gives me a fabulous rush and I find it very rewarding seeing my own illustrations evolve within a couple of hours for the rappidly chanhging assignments with short deadlines.
The speed at the newspaper gives me energy to immerse and and shut my self into volumnious projects, like the final project I carried out of the design school this January. This was a childrensbook project evolving around the combination of storytelling, play and horror as means of child development. It consisted of meter long complete illustrations packed with references and details. The ability to arrange all these details in a meaningfull continuos course
probably stems from my work with graphic design and layout. Among alot of graphic work I’ve designed logos and visual identitues for nationwide campaigns, layoutet books and booklets, designed posters, magnets, t-shirts, banners and more. All with a clear and visible message. If you need any illustrational work done, please dont hessitate to contact me. I look forward to hear from you.
