Hi - I'm a professional product & brand illustrator based in Copenhagen, producing custom work that breathe soul into tech products and digital publications.

I enjoy working with both raster and vector graphics, and welcome both small or enterprise clients who know exactly what they want or those who are in the beginning of their project.

My ultimate goal is to create illustrations that seamlessly integrate into their intended environments. Consider me a versatile designer who can adapt to any illustration style required by clients. While I am more than capable of bringing my personal style to the table, I am equally comfortable letting it playfully thrive on my instagram playground.

My style could be described as dynamic, clean yet painterly, surrealistic yet able to engage and move the user/viewer, inclusive and intentional. I create with the idea that technology only thrives when paired with art in mind.

I create illustration for: Illustration systems, Branding, Editorials & Blogs, Marketing & Apps, Corporate Identity, Concept development, Traditional animation, Iconography, Characters & Portraits.
