I design and build digital systems where visual storytelling, web engineering, AI experiments, and self-hosted infrastructure become one connected universe.

With more than 25 years of experience in graphic design, advertising, and creative direction, I currently work with the marketing team at Kemi and Poulsen. My role combines visual storytelling, brand development, digital marketing, and technology to create engaging content, practical solutions, and stronger connections between brands and their audiences.

Throughout my career, I have worked across freelance design, advertising agencies, startups, marketing teams, and creative leadership roles. Today, my work has expanded beyond traditional design into web development, artificial intelligence, digital systems, and self-hosted infrastructure.

As a Creative Technologist, I enjoy connecting creativity with technology — turning ideas into visual identities, digital experiences, prototypes, and working systems. I am driven by curiosity, collaboration, and the challenge of making complex ideas feel clear, useful, and alive.

Craft fields

Five disciplines orbiting the same center: making ideas visible, useful, and alive.

Design

Brand systems, UI/UX and visual storytelling rooted in a graphic-design background.

Web

Production sites and apps with WordPress, TypeScript, Docker and practical interfaces.

Artificial Intelligence

LLM workflows and agents, local-first with Ollama and LM Studio.

Research

Exploring tools, patterns and digital systems, then turning them into something useful.

Self-hosting

Full server control on my own infrastructure — VPS, Tailscale, containers.
