I'm currently enrolled in Multimedia Design at KEA, Copenhagen, where I have found myself falling madly in love with the intricacies and processes of web design and development. Prior to this, I went to an art-focused highschool, and have studied courses within several different art fields, such as Landscape Architecture and Comics Creation. However, it was in frontend development that I truly found my place. This just happens to be the area where my many years of experience in graphic design fit like a glove, since I get to use my eye for the visuals together with the technical demands of the web, allowing me to blend aesthetics with functionality.

Figma to code

In this assignment I had a week to try to code as much as possible from a proper figma prototype. It was so much fun and gave me a much better understanding of working component based.

Nintendopusheren

This company is run by pure love for the retro game industry, and the group I was working with got to try to give their brand a makeover. My main task was to redesign their logo, icons and database.

Birds in distress

This is a game I created in my first semester at KEA. The goal behind this was to get an understanding of Javascript, but also to plan a gameplay and create our own assets.

Vild Mad

In this assignment I got to work on the illustrations and database for the foraging company called Vild Mad, who wanted some help with creating engaging content for elementary students.

This was the result after my first semester at KEA, and looking back at it, I feel it has managed to capture my love of visuals and not being afraid to test the waters.
