Bio — My Journey into UX/ UI Design

Before becoming a Designer, I went into exploring different grounds with fine arts, photography, social science and a wild turn into project management in the vibrant energy of a start up in the middle of Paris. There has definitely been hidden gems at every step — being pushed to create and build a strong vision, always work on improving communication, trying to understand where the needs were, experiencing the gold of working with a great team, are some of my key and strongest learnings along the way. They are also my favorites.

My purpose as a Designer today is to be continuously discovering, researching solutions as well as offering useful, impactful and captivating designs for users and brands.

Get to know little more about me

I have grown with both the Danish and French culture mixed together, being born in France while being 100% from Scandinavian roots.

I have always lived in a very artistic and creative family with a musician dad, a textile designer mum, an architect grandpa, a fisherman other grandpa (it doesn’t apply but I love it, imagine a Norwegian older man with a fisherman sweater on a little wooden boat). I spent my summers on the danish rustic coast, mostly in the water or in the woods, and my winters in the center of Southern France. I have always had the freedom to be very experimental in terms of styles and mediums.
