JUL 2021 – NOW
Senior UX/UI designer @DanskeBank
As a UX/UI designer at DanskeBank, I am part of the leading retail design team, owning two channels/products, one being the net bank and the other an internal tool supporting bank advisers in serving the customer and guiding them through their financial decisions.
My role is to define and maintain the overall experience for both channels by creating the navigation principles layout foundation, and overview screens. Therefore I am responsible for defining the channel for future teams to come in and each independently add functionality.
I facilitate the alignment between these teams with the channel foundations and communicate regularly to ensure a unified experience.
In add on to this, I am currently driving the design system development on web, and am in strong collaboration with the library development team as well as the leading mobile design system team. As part of this task, I am communicating with different designers and developers across the organization to find out different use cases and needs for our components and then continuing with the testing.

Digital designer @BridgeIT
During my time as a UI/UX designer at BridgeIT, I have worked with both native and cross-platform apps. I have – with the client and the project manager – developed products from concept to the final mockup. I have been in close collaboration with both the clients and the development team, to assure a relevant, intuitive, functional and aesthetic final product.
The highlight of my experience within this company was being part of the Danish team that is working on our Lockheed Martin projects. We are currently working on multiple projects, always traveling to the client’s US offices, in order to understood each process of their work-flow, gathered requirements for functionality, interact with representative users regarding their needs and expectations and design the UX and UI of the app. I have worked on multiple projects, with tight deadlines and overlapping tasks, always thriving to deliver the best result. From those projects, mentionable clients are Lockheed Martin, COOP, Arla, Scholl, Pandora, etc.
Take a look at some of the projects I work on
Aircraft maintenance and overview
General: As airspace is a very specific and technical field, multiple workshops were necessary in order for both design and developemnt to get a better understanding of the technical aspects of the user’s workflow.

In order to achieve this, I have designed a colour-codede system, which represents each step and a few secondary supportive steps. Colouring concept My design…

Digital designer @Monsenso
As the in-house digital designer at Monsenso, I have been responsible for redesigning their current product at the time – from bot a UI and a UX point of view -, creating new products for different use cases than the generic one, creating add-on modules to the existing product, etc.
The most rewarding experience during my time with them has been creating a CBT – Cognitive behavioural therapy – in collaboration with a phycologist from Rigshospitalen. During that poet, I have explored and learn a lot about translating analog processes and face to face interaction to digital flows, that would provide the same benefits but in a more convenient and freeing manner, as the users could follow the therapy techniques at their own pace and exactly when they needed it instead of waiting for their face to face appointment.
Other tasks that I have been in charge of were creating fact sheets using the brand guidelines, logo design, iconography, illustration, mostly anything that was graphic.
