& User Experience Designer , Workshop Designer & Facilitator What I do Nº1 Nº2 eins digital, Co-Founder of several startups, Founder of dorris What makes me a valuable addition to a team? I love beginnings - I like to constantly try new things, learn quickly by getting feedback and try to understand where I have succeeded (e.g. my èrst startup) or failed (e.g. my fashion store PURE GLOW* which was the starting point for falling in love with Danish design, the Danish culture and Copenhagen) in the past. To me, curiously trying things out is the only way I can constantly strengthen and develop myself.
I seek projects in which my autonomy and creativity can be exercised. I am generally undaunted by new challenges, and approach problems with a clear mind. I am used to quickly moving on from failure and am always willing to begin from scratch. My ability to experiment and test something novel is a key strength that I bring to my work.
How did I get here? I speak many (team) languages - My natural ability to work well with a variety of people from other disciplines allows me to bring together different individual strengths. I am a mechanical engineer by training with a degree from an Ivy League university (RWTH Aachen), I started my career as a frontend developer, self-taught, I changed paths and discovered my passion for design which I have been following since then.
I have a natural drive to challenge myself and others in order to overcome anything in our way to achieve our goals. I am a forward-thinker and change-maker: I always take the opportunity to challenge others to join me in creating change. I have profound insights into current trends and market demand, which boosts my creativity and inspires new ideas.
More about my character My conèdence and determination provide support for the people I work with. I see change as a positive force and always ask myself if there is another way to look at things than we have done before.
I am not intimidated by red tape but constantly think outside the box. I feel fulèlled and accomplished when I am able to tackle the unknown and explore unfamiliar territory. I am motivated to change the way classic businesses think, strategize, ideate and operate.
I am attracted by the possibilities in high risk and high reward strategies rather than being hesitant or repelled by them. Challenges do not scare me. I èrmly believe there is a solution to every problem.
