Where do you work at the moment?
I work at a newly started design agency called Wayfab in Brabrand, Aarhus.

What is your role and what are your tasks?
I’m a Graphic Designer and Illustrator. I develop brand visuals, set up and illustrate publications, design websites, animate and create guides for our customers, so they know how to use the things we develop for them.

What role has the Design for People Master’ programme played in getting you where you are today?
I started my own freelance business that I ran alongside my master’s studies. It was a way for me to get some hands-on experience, and to quickly start using the methods I learned in school. Wayfab became my client through recommendation. That relationship developed into employment shortly after my graduation.

What is an important memory from Design School Kolding?
My classmates hold a special place in my heart. We all came from bachelors in different countries, and with different ways to approach the different aspects of our projects. What I didn’t learn from school, I learned from them.

Do you have any advice to give to someone undertaking this educational path?
I would advise new, aspiring Master’s to first of all enjoy your time. Build lifelong friendships and expand your network!
