In August of 2008 I began my employment at TV 2
Net as the second designer sharing graphic and produc-‐
tion responsibilities for the entire domain tv2.dk.
Outside of maintaining current products such as
Nyheder, Sputnik, Sporten, Programmer, TV Tid, annu-‐
ally, there is a minimum of two new initiatives or
content products which demand the creation of unique
assets, style and tone, logos, on and offline marketing
campaigns, and tv commercials as well as the web
product itself, which is a niche service or entertainment
content maintained by editors and marketing initia-‐
tives.
In the majority of situations the graphic lead, often
being the only resource for online graphic conception
and production, has been a satisfying experience being
able to work from inception through to launch, afford-‐
ing me the sense of visual ownership and hands-‐on
attention to all graphic aspects of the product.
Among these products my biggest challenges and
rewards have been:

2006-2008 Nordisk Film
Valby Denmark
Flash Animator
In May of 2006 I began my employment at Nordisk
Film as a flash animator producing rich media banners
and web sites for movie, music and game titles distributed through the company. I made up the second of
two flash designers and from the beginning it was
chaotic and exciting, often completing an assignment
days after receiving a brief and media plan.
It became obvious very quickly that new techniques
were required to manage such photograph heavy
content and though I am not strong with action script I
learned how to accomplish production with inter
activity and click-rate tracking developed in house.
Supervoksen was one of my favorite titles as the
director and producers of the film were very open arms
with the solution for the online presentation. My
participation in the making of the web site was to
create an interactive “spå kop” users could fill out and
e-mail to friends. This was accomplished using stop
motion photography moving the paper prop with wires
then imported into flash.
It was rewarding to receive compliments from the
director and hear that the enthusiasm I had for the
project had shone through; in turn this encouraged me
to pursue the blending of real life elements with online
experiences.
The rich adventure imagery and historical setting of
TempelRidderns Skat II led the way for a turn based
sword fighting game. A blue screen was used to
capture motion from our actor, then composited with
different backgrounds to complete the environment.
Users challenged via E-mail; highest scores earning
prizes.

2003-2005 TietoEnator
Copenhagen Denmark
Interactive Media Designer
During the summer of 2003, Araneum was acquired
by TietoEnator, who had great interest in the Design
and Usability department, and although T.E. was
primarily a technical solution provider, our department continued to create value and revenue for
existing clients as well as open doors to new clients
by developing creative concepts and solutions for the
consumer side of public and governmental clients
One of my most consuming projects was for the
European Environment Agency which requested a web
site educating children between the ages of 8 to 12
about the environment and would be translated into
24 languages. I was given full creative lead and
produced the concept, site design, character design
and illustrations as well as taking on the responsibilities of technical collaboration. This project was a
success and within the year the team was called upon
to create from concept to implementation, 5 flashbased environmental simulations.
2001-2003 Araneum
Copenhagen Denmark
Interactive Media Designer
I led in the development and implementation of our
own corporate identity working with a strong team
to develop and integrate Flash and Power Point
technologies, creating an interactive platform for
international corporate presentations.
My employment at Araneum, a Danish web agency,
was catalyzed by the opportunity to pitch on the
corporate site and 24 sister sites of the service giant,
ISS. I was chosen for this project as my portfolio and
client experience was strong in branding, consumer
and corporate communication. Winning the pitch gave
me responsibility of producing more than just the
visuals for this assignment.

2001-2003 Araneum
Copenhagen Denmark
Interactive Media Designer
1997-2001 Grey Direct & Interactive
Copenhagen Denmark
New Media Designer
My employment at Araneum, a Danish web agency, was
catalyzed by the opportunity to pitch on the corporate
site and 24 sister sites of the service giant, ISS. I was
chosen for this project as my portfolio and client
experience was strong in branding, consumer and
corporate communication. Winning the pitch landed the
responsibility of producing more than just design.
During my employment at Grey I worked closely with
industry leading art directors, copywriters and print
production in an openly creative environment. At the
start of my employment my primary role was adapting
offline concepts to interactive media, researching,
pitching and producing work in newly developed
technologies such as flash and Shockwave.
As well as working closely with our internal team of
programmers, designers and project managers and
external resources, there included a series of iterations
and presentations to the board of directors and CEO
presenting concept, design, and all interactive solutions
developed in flash.
From these successful experiences I was teamed with a
creative concept developer and copywriter to create a
two-man lead pitch team for our creative department
and went on to add Bang&Olufsen, Dandy, Navision
and Novo Nordisk to my portfolio.
Throughout my employment at Grey my responsibilities increased as well as my creative freedom and soon,
despite my lack of the local language, I became the lead
for large international and high profile clients such as
Egmont, Microsoft, SAS and Toyota.
