Hi, I'm Morten. I'm a Danish, independent freelance Creative Director and Designer based in New York. I bring more than 15 years of experience creating compelling, story-driven experiences that captivate audiences through meticulous design and strategic execution.
Hands-on. Thoughtful. Story-led. I believe in creating beautiful and meaningful experiences that evoke human emotion, serve a greater purpose, and lead to positive action toward our fellow humans and planet.
I would love to connect with like-minded people and organizations to leverage today's technology with smart design to take on the biggest challenges of our ever-changing, modern world.

Approach & Principles
Each engagement is unique; however, five key principles guide my work.

This is a partnership. We align on our goals, expectations, and communication cadences from the beginning, and work hand-in-hand along the way. The creative process depends on us co-creating together to ensure what we produce can stand out in your world.

Serious work, silly moments. Great work leads to great results. However, creativity cannot exist without levity. I encourage us to get outside of our comfort zones, dispel judgment, and embrace joy in our collaboration to drive the most innovative breakthroughs.

Embrace the chaos. To create something that has never existed, sometimes things have to get messy. The best work is born through thoughtful guidelines, and trusting each other and the journey.
