My projects
Custom designed woocommerce webshop.
The product card is made with dynamic content and calculations specifically for the beer.
The design is built with elementor and part custom css. In addition to being responsive, the site also supports dark mode.
On the front page, a slideshow has been built with SwiperJS, where they pick up the 4 most recently selected items.
In addition, an icon pack has been designed which is used creatively throughout the page. Among other things in the shopping basket.
Custom programming additions to a booking plugin to give the possibility of 2 different outputs of booking times. Used for confirmation email and calendar synchronization.
Furthermore, I have optimized wordpress and cleaned up the page. The result is since responding faster with 20 being active plugins. And improved loading times on booking page from over 5 s to under 1.4 s,.
A sharp deadline.
Metz contacted me if I could design a cookbook within a week after receiving final pictures and text, I as of cause a bit hesitant, I knew it would be many hours.
I took some notes with the customer, to create visualize the time a project like this would take.
I ended up agreeing to the terms of the project. My only term was to receive the still incomplete text and pictures, so that I could start the work right away.
That meant that when I got the final text and pictures, I had my book roughly made in InDesign, my biggest concern was if I made a copy/paste error and place a piece of text wrong.
To solve this, every text field is connected with each other, a fairly technical solution for most.
It really made it easy to controlled the text. And speed up the project a great deal.
I have been designing coloring books for Bone’s Restaurants since 2012, and this is the latest edition.
The idea behind this book was to do something different, make the book more playfull instead of just a simple booklet. While keeping it cost effective.
The new coloring book is therefore cute in the shape of a suitcase and printed 4+1. That gave us a bigger surface for the color print, to have more fun puzzles.
The book has been a hit in the restaurants, as it fits a broader age span.
Circus Summer is held each summer in collaboration with Muskelsvindfonden and DR.
I was the lead designer of merchandise to add value to the circus experience.
They had they’re own design guideline with over 200 different elements. Bubbles, balloons, flaglines, magic shimmer, sparkles etc. Luckily there was a great deal of freedom within the guidelines, the real task was therefor to keep a cohesive expression in the design.
ANNUAL GIFT CATALOG, WEBSITE PAYMENT FORM FOR ORDERING GIFT CARDS, AS WELL AS DESIGN OF WEBSHOP FOR CHOOSING GIFTS.
For MitGavevalg.dk I have developed the design system which is followed through the catalog, the website and gift cards.
MitGavevalg.dk is a concept started in the summer of 2017, and I have been involved from the very beginning. They sell Christmas gift cards to companies that give employees a wide variety of gifts to choose from. The concept has so far been a success for Baxx Promotion.
2021 Update: MitGavevalg.dk has together with Baxx Promotion merged with Metz, and has now become part of Metz Christmas Gifts.
The MitGavevalg website started as an enlightened version of Baxx Promotion’s existing Christmas gift voter shop.
But in 2018, they switched to a Wordpress website that I had designed and developed. Every year, the site got an update and overhaul, and in 2019, I added a form powered by Gravity Forms with payment built-in so that gift card orders could be paid for right away.
Design and development of food blog in WordPress.
The site is made for the purpose of being simple to maintain and update. Recipes are created as blog posts, with special fields added to: times and ingredients.
Page size is less than 1 mb. pr. page with load times of 0.4 s
Additionally, recipe pages are designed to be printed nicely.
Webshop for the employees of Sygeforsikringen “danmark”.
Designed to be close to the customer’s brand identity. Built on wordpress with WooCommerce as shop system.
As a small freelance digital agency, I am passionate about making a noticeable difference. My competencies range widely from consulting over development to design of communication campaigns, websites, ecommerce and much more.
Then it will not be more meta.
The page here is made for easy updating of the content.
Almost all texts are dynamically changing.
In addition, the site has features such as language versioning, print-friendly css, dark mode and a hefty use of CSS variables to control the colors.
Let’s work together
