I started out drawing comics and designing heavy metal album covers in my native Denmark. I am now an award winning Creative Director and Design Director, creating distinctive visual universes for brands, campaigns, and products.
I worked as a Design Director and Senior Creative in advertising and marketing agencies. I was in-house at retail giant Asda, heading up all things visual across products and comms, and in my latest role I was Global Creative Director at the iconic Time Out. On this journey I have produced outstanding work in print, digital, illustration, and branding.​​​​​​​

Charged with delivering world class creative and design for the iconic Time Out brand, recognised and trusted in every great city around the world for decades.
ASDA
SENIOR DIRECTOR DESIGN, CREATIVE DIRECTOR STUDIO 368 (2018 - 2022)
As the £20bn company’s first ever Design Director, my job was to drive and elevate the standard of creative work across the wide and diverse Asda product portfolio. Reporting into the Chief Customer Officer, I was part of the creative leadership team for the business and accountable for the quality of the visual output across branding, advertising campaigns, print, online retail, CRM, packaging design, Point of Sale, social media, press advertising, and digital media.​​​​​​​ In short, what the brand looks like and how it shows up in front of the customer.
In October 2018 I launched an in-house studio, Studio 368. Conceived as a print artwork department with a strong focus on Point of Sale graphics, the Studio has since grown into a multi-disciplinary design and production team, and an agile, cost-effective creative resource, collaborating with our agencies as well as originating new creative. I was Studio 368’s Creative Director as it now looks after: Print artworking for POS, Press ads, Retouching, Out of home advertising, CRM, Data activation design, asda.com and all its sub pages, Motion design, and Content design. And in the process, my team grew to 60 colleagues.
