Expertise

Areas of expertise

Graphic design

I am a formally trained graphic designer with professional experience from the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), where I produced content for their website and social media.

My work has spanned visual identities, layout design, digital design and communication. I'm strong within digital branding, communication and social media, where I thrive developing content within the rules of brand guidelines.

Besides my design background, I have a strong technical understanding. I am very experienced with technology in general.

Photography

I have experience with (D)SLR-cameras and understanding of composition, lighting and post-production workflow.

Photography is not just a question of turning on a camera and pressing a button, but a craft that requires skill in mastering settings such as exposure, focus and shutter speed based on location.

This is a skill, I have mastered, since I do a lot of sports photography within the world of figure skating, inwhich I am part of. Some examples can be found on my Instagram or on my photography website.

Operational Management

I have experience with operational management and leadership from my role as a operations manager at the Danish State Railways (DSB), where I was responsible for all onboard train personnel.

This position required decisive leadership, taking action, clear communication and the ability to act under pressure – especially when dealing with acute disruptions or network incidents. This has given me skills in operational decision-making and crisis management.
