About me

Together with my work at Søstrene Grene and my bachelor degree in Retail design & Business i'm skilled to design and develop innovative retail concepts and great store designs with a commercial focus. 


I see myself as a curious, passionate and creative person with a lot of drive. I love to explore the retail universe - materials, designs, experiences and opportunities. I have an eye for current trends and tendencies as well as the implementation of various experiences that create value for both retailers and consumers. Also, i focus on a strategic design solution where the commercial is at least as important as the aesthetic. 


In relation to my work approach, I am organized and maintain a good overview.

I work well independently as well as being part of a team where I enjoy exchanging ideas with colleagues and partners. Moreover, i enjoy being able to dive deep into a project as well as working on different tasks at the same time.


Furthermore, in the last two years, I have traveled a lot and worked with various countries - among them the UK, Ireland, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Belgium. This has given me the opportunity to experience a lot of different work cultures.


As for my private life, I'm 25 years old and live by myself in Aarhus. During my spare time I like running and practicing yoga. I'm very social and enjoy spending time with my friends and family - preferably with good food and a glass of wine.

Steady &

perseverance


You show the ability to reflect on your skills and your personality. A future company will be interested in a young employee who knows how to listen, analyze and reflect. These are qualities that are essential for teamwork.

I think the students can see themselves in your personality and your competencies, and you are usually not afraid to put yourself at risk and the best results are achieved when you stubbornly and persistently seek the answers both from the guidance, input from an internship company or your theory.

In other words, I think you have a natural empathy, which is both a part of your personality and

a necessity to be able to communicate with our students, but which can also be translated into value creation in a future company because you can put yourself in the user's shoes, but also because you will be able to be part of a production team.
