Hi, I'm Morten. I'm a Danish, independent freelance Creative Director and Designer, based in New York. Previously a Creative Director for a decade at Hello Monday, an award-winning, global Danish design studio. I bring more than 15+ year of experience creating compelling and story-driven experiences that captivate audiences through meticulous design and strategic execution.
Hands-on. Thoughtful. Story-led. Whether I’m leading an international team to produce design digital experience for a Fortune 500 that will reach millions, trekking through the Congo to interview park rangers and inject their pride into a compelling website design, or creating a dating platform that would allow people globally to embrace all forms of love and connection, I bring these traits into everything I do.
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.

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 up 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.

Address the elephant in the room. They can be adorable, but quickly become cumbersome. Let’s minimize these by promising frequent, open and honest communication from the start.

Embrace the chaos. To create something that has never existed, sometimes things have to get messy. Through thoughtful guidelines, and trusting each other and the journey, we find the diamonds in the rough that maximize impact.
