For over ten years I have been designing and crafting products for both digital and analog solutions. All digital products are designed and coded with a mobile first environment. Having worked as both a designer and developer, I know how to bridge that gap that sometimes exists between departments. I am dedicated, passionate, and love to design.
Reach out and we can talk about what you are looking for. I look forward to hearing from you!

Art Director / Creative Director
Art Direction / Graphic Design / Information Graphic Design/ Editorial Design / User Experience Design

Editorial Design Worked as a designer, art director and design director for an extensive range of publications in New York City and Copenhagen. Hired and art directed photographers, illustrators and designers. Collaborated with all departments of publications– designers, art directors, writers, editors and printers.Worked on staff at publications, as well as freelancing.

Visuals vary greatly between magazine types— for a teen magazine a teenage girl wants to see someone like herself and maybe some cute boys. An engineer will read something more complex and doesn't mind spending some time to understand a story. How do you explain the complex transfer of energy between countries visually? A family looking for advice on buying a new car might want to see something about cars that isn't what they would see in a car dealership.

LyndgaardMedia.dk Art Directed, designed and coded a fully responsive website. All code is in HTML/CSS with the help of Bootstrap for a simple 100% responsive grid.

About

I have a design degree from School of Visual Arts in New York City, and have completed Le Wagon's Full Stack 9 week bootcamp.

These two educations give me the unique characteristic of being both a designer and coder.

I make websites and SaaS products– combining code and design for quick, beautiful solutions.

I often design with code– directly in the browser saving time and money. When designing in code, we become aware of difficulties that may arise from a design, and can tackle them early in the process.

Note to Companies Looking for help
I can create quick iterations from wireframes and sketches to beautifully coded websites and interfaces.

Note to developers creating products
With the wireframes created, I can code them into pixel perfect interfaces. I have done full stack work with Rails, Django and React, and understand how to communicate with the backend people.

Special note to CEO’s, COO's…
I specialize in startups needing quick deployment. As a startup, you want the most for your money. Hire me and I will do your frontend design, UI and code simultaneously.
