I am a creative hybrid specialized in graphic design, art direction, and strategic concept development with the ability to frame a brand's visual identity that stands out – across print and digital formats.
Being the founder of 639festival.org, I have acquired strong knowledge and practical experience in creative concept development, visual identity design, and organizing a communication strategy. I am proficient in developing, designing, and updating printed matter and digital material with experience from the Danish Film Institute. Furthermore, I have experience in developing and implementing campaign material across different touchpoints with my work at Roskilde Festival.
