I was only 26, and I had to advise every agency working with Danske Bank on how to implement the Design System we created for them.
The client ended up pulling out the project; not because of failure, but because the process we adopted made them realize they weren’t ready to work that way yet.
I guided the global marketing team to improve their design approach: design system, website, and governance, all aligned for the first time.
We crafted an award‑winning digital showroom experience out of a print‑oriented brand book.

Clarity and simplicity drive my work, no matter if it's Strategy, Branding or Experience Design

I’m a design leader with international experience across the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. I drive strategic, human-centered projects that scale teams and deliver measurable business outcomes through experience-led transformation. My work spans across product design, strategy, brand, and design systems, often bridging the worlds of technology, business, and creativity.

I’ve led both remote and in-situ teams with equal fluency, fostering strong collaboration across disciplines, time zones, and cultures. As a keynote speaker and guest lecturer, I share insights on design leadership, systems thinking, and digital innovation. Based in Copenhagen with my wife and our two daughters, I balance work and family with a passion for martial arts and fitness with a focus on nutrition science and BJJ.

FULL CASES ON MERKLE'S WEBSITE

VOLVO / The Data-Driven Truck

Volvo Trucks needs no introduction. Commercials like the ‘epic split’ have catapulted the brand into fame. But over time, the global and local websites had grown in complexity. It was time to shift gears to enhance the digital experience. 

VELUX / Design Studio

Along with VELUX, we created the Design Studio, an intuitive tool which allows homeowners to experience their homes with roof windows using advanced 3D-technology known from the gaming industry.

CLIENTS OFTEN ASK ME...

FROM STRATEGY TO EXECUTION, THE ASKS I HEAR THE MOST

GIANT

Based in Shanghai, GIANT approached us with multiple requests, the most important being a new website to support their shift from B2B to a customer-facing B2C experience. Although one of the world’s biggest bike brands, they had historically focused on manufacturing rather than direct sales. We helped reposition the brand and its products for a global audience, designing a new digital experience that has launched and will continue to evolve in the years ahead.

DENTSU

Dentsu asked us to create a brand-new identity for one of their flagship connected services, Merkury. From strategy to execution, my team and I shaped everything from the core brand foundations to its visual language, building a system that could stand on its own while fitting seamlessly within the Dentsu ecosystem. The result was a bold new identity that positioned Merkury as a leader in data-driven customer experiences.

MASTERCARD

Mastercard Global was consolidating its digital presence under a new website. The Danish market asked for support in migrating only the most relevant content into the new platform and creating market-specific material. We led the migration strategy, combining UX insights with data research to determine what mattered most, then used the new platform’s modules to design and launch the Danish market pages.

Roskilde Festival project thumbnail

ROSKILDE FESTIVAL

Over the years, Roskilde Festival had accumulated a patchwork of digital platforms: loyalty, volunteers, the official site and more, resulting in a costly and complex IT stack. We consolidated everything into a single solution, designing a modular architecture and visual system that unified their ecosystem while keeping the unmistakable Orange Feeling at the heart of the experience.

KVIK Kitchens project thumbnail

KVIK KITCHENS

Many customers visit KVIK’s site hoping to calculate a price estimate, but often their self-measured inputs are inaccurate, making precise estimates difficult. Still, KVIK wanted to offer customers meaningful price ranges as a powerful conversion tool. We worked with them to solve this challenge and, through careful journey mapping, also designed a post-login experience where the brand recognizes each customer, welcomes them in the showroom, and connects seamlessly to their needs, truly linking the digital and physical touchpoints.

Copenhagen Zoo project thumbnail

COPENHAGEN ZOO

A full-rounded project, from A to Z. We mapped the entire customer journey, set the strategy, and adapted the digital brand. We then designed a responsive website with integrated commerce for ticket sales, along with a booking and membership app—reimagining every touchpoint of the zoo experience.
