Sr. Product Designer (focus on Design System)

2017 Copenhagen DK
Sr. Product Designer
Company: Sitecore (corporation, 2000+)
A large content management system, built on older technologies, had become a tangled mess over the years as teams kept adding features to satisfy customers without considering design sustainability or long-term usability. To address this, we started a new team, fresh from 0, delivering a future-proof interface by implementing design tokens and applying systematic design thinking. It is called Sitecore Horizon.
Examples of my work at Sitecore

2016 Copenhagen DK
Head of Design
Company: **Tjek** (startup, 10+)
A relatively new mobile app, at that time, aimed at showcasing weekly and daily local supermarket deals based on your location. The challenge? It launched during the height of the app boom, as platforms like Uber and Airbnb were revolutionizing the market. This was a time when defining what makes a truly great mobile user interface was highly competitive.

2015 Copenhagen DK
User Interface Designer
Company: Vertic (agency, 50+)
This role marked my transition to a user-centered design approach, moving from graphic design in advertising to exploring UI patterns. It was my first experience with responsive design and close collaboration with developers. Although the project was eventually canceled, it was a pivotal moment—I joined my first digital team and created my first user interface library. During this time I dropped out from my Master Degree courses at AAU.
