Experiences & Highlights

As the Lead Product Designer at Highsoft, I apply my broad UX expertise across all products and initiatives, leveraging meticulous planning, prototyping, and active participation in project development. Collaborating closely with the Tech team, IΒ΄m heavily involved in enhancing our design capacity, improving both UX and UI, and setting our own quarterly goals. Building on my rich background in scalable and emotional design, IΒ΄m dedicated to creating intuitive, user-centric solutions that significantly impact our diverse product range.

My role at Cardlay was leading the design of our marketing site for three years and later transitioned over to the spend mangement solution. I helped create attention-grabbing, self-explanatory visuals and experiences. With my UI and product engineering background, I collaborate seamlessly with developers and with strong communication skills that ensure transparency with stakeholders.

As Design Lead at ordbogen.com, I led a comprehensive rebrand, delivered modern visuals for all product lines, and mentored new designers. My work was instrumental in positioning the company as a market leader and fostering its expansion into the European market.

I grew up in Denmark, where I had a passion for building and designing websites from a very young age. During design school, I started picking up the coding aspect, forming my systematic approaches to product design. I enjoy building rigorous design systems that are logical and easily scalable. I design solutions that convey emotion and humanity to achieve its goals effectively.

To put things in perspective, IΒ΄ve assisted on projects that have affected millions and made billions.
