I am an Urban designer and Landscape planner based in the capital region of Denmark.
As a civil engineer specialised in Urban Design, I am driven by the vision of creating better cities, more sustainable solutions, and climate-adapted urban environments that put people and nature at the centre. During my 5-year programme, I have worked with everything from urban planning and climate protection to complex structural plans, mobilities and hybrid building forms, etc.
Educational background
Aalborg University (AAU)
Cand.Polyt, Urban Design 2022 - 2024
4th year of study - Introduction to climate resilient design and utilization of the city's forgotten spaces (‘Gap space’).
5th year of study - Internship programme with a parallel course and master's thesis (concerning Refshaleøen).
Elaboration of internships - At Pluskontoret Arkitekter I was part of their landscape team called ‘Plusland’, but besides landscape, I also worked closely with architects, engineers, building constructors and other interns among others. This ensured a broad introduction to different professional languages, working methods, tools and quality assurance etc. During this period, I gained experience with the following, among others:
- Autodesk Revit and AutoCad
- Design of master plans and local plans
- Landscape design (plant lists, contour lines, drainage, soil layers, etc.)
- Competition procedures, process and external collaboration
- Presentation material, communication and pitching
- Playground design, pedagogy and ‘play expertise’

2th year of study - Training in tectonics, indoor climate calculation, structural design and similar.
3th year of study - Teaching about ‘the dense city’, LCA and LCC, and the theory behind the ‘hybrid building’.
Abilities & Skills
