Work Experience
September 2023 - Present
FLS (Copenhagen Denmark)
Digital Designer
I provide digital design & production expertise to the global marketing team and to business as a whole, while working closely with Branding to review and approve all design related tasks and requests. I split my time between production work (web design, video, motion graphics and graphic design for example) and providing creative direction to internal and external colleagues and stakeholders, while also working on high level design projects such as our recently completed website re-design and updated Corporate Visual Identity (CVI).
August 2019 - September 2023
Wunderman Thompson Studios (Copenhagen Denmark)
Digital Designer specialising in Video Production, Video Editing & Motion Graphic Design
As part of the creative team at Wunderman Thompson Studios in Copenhagen, I produced digital content almost exclusively on the Dell account working with video production, video editing, graphic design and motion graphic design. I worked on video productions in the studio for both internal and external projects, working with cameras, lighting and audio equipment. I also specialised in creating digital assets (video, motion graphics & graphic design) for seasonal campaigns and social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and Tiktok.
Working in a fast-paced environment with a focus on producing high-end creative content, I learned to manage my time and communicate effectively, while consistently producing work that met & exceeded our clients' expectations.
October 2018 - August 2019
Innovation Roundtable (Copenhagen, Denmark)
Video & Digital Content Production Manager
As the Video & Digital Content Production Manager at Innovation Roundtable, I was responsible for producing high quality video footage and digital content from our events which were hosted at locations around the world. During my time with the company, I planned productions in 14 different countries, before travelling to the events, setting up equipment and recording professional footage which would later be edited and published on the Innovation Roundtable online network.
I managed a team of 5 video editors who were located in Serbia - providing footage and instructions, while streamlining processes so that we could work with maximum efficiency and produce high quality and engaging videos.
In my role, I also worked on a variety of digital projects such as elevating the brands digital presence, maintaining our websites (CMS) while also helping to develop and update our event App. I was very much involved in creating and developing new and exciting digital projects to help digitalise the business and drive us forward.
July 2017 - October 2018
Freelance (Various)
Digital Designer specialising in Video Production, Video Editing & Motion Graphic Design
While completing my degree in Multimedia Design at the Copenhagen School of Design & Technology (KEA), I began freelancing and set up a small business so I could work on a variety of digital design projects with a number of companies and individuals.
I produced websites for Start-Ups, filmed and edited videos for large multinational companies, and produced digital content for local agencies and individuals. This allowed me to develop my skills and learn how to communicate in an effective manner to fully understand the clients' needs and expectations before creating productions to meet and exceed those needs.
I worked with my own cameras, lighting and audio equipment and, for post production, I worked mostly in After Effects, Premiere Pro and Photoshop. I very much enjoyed the variation of work and also the storytelling aspect of my work - taking a business, product, individual or even a basic idea, and building a story around that before creating digital content to visualise the story and engage an audience.
November 2016 – July 2017:
Tonsser (Copenhagen, Denmark)
Digital Designer specialising in Video Production, Video Editing & Motion Graphic Design (Student Assistant)
As a digital designer at Tonsser, I was responsible for creating social media and in-app content items to engage existing users and appeal to new users.
I worked with cameras, lighting and audio equipment to film and edit a number of short videos telling stories about our users. I would come up with ideas for interesting stories, then reach out to the clubs and users to get them onboard before drawing storyboards, filming, editing and producing the videos. I also edited a lot of short videos using existing footage and created GIFs, graphics and more to assist the marketing department.
I was also responsible for reaching out to influencers across the world to negotiate deals to produce content in association with them.
