Hi, I'm Louise, a Principal Product Designer based in Copenhagen. I help teams design accessible digital products and the systems behind them.
My career started in Denmark, followed by eight years at tech companies in Berlin, and I'm now back home.

I hold a master's in Visual Communication from Kolding School of Design. I started in graphic design, moved into UX and product work, and gradually ended up leading cross-functional design efforts at scale, including DesignOps. I've worked across health, finance, government, fashion and e-commerce, education, music streaming, media, and art and culture.

Accessibility is a consistent part of how I work. I hold a WCAG 2.2 certification for UX Designers, speak about it when I get the chance, and am currently helping a major healthcare company build their accessibility operations from the ground up.

I sat on the jury for the Danish Digital Awards in the digital health category in 2025 and 2026.

Right now I'm looking for principal or leadership roles where I can shape products, grow design culture, and create systems with care.

Charlie Tango
2021 — current

At Charlie Tango, I lead UI and product design across finance, healthcare, and the public sector, often as the sole designer on a project. On MDT+, a cancer conference platform built around an AI predictive score, I helped take the product from research concept to a tool now rolling out to cancer teams across Denmark and the Nordics.

Alongside client delivery, I've created two new service areas for the agency. For a major healthcare client, I'm developing an accessibility consultancy practice and doing design system governance work: vision, purpose, intake processes, contribution stance, and ways of working. Internally, I run DesignOps at Charlie Tango, covering Figma governance, file organisation, and handoff standards.

I teach at DMJX and Aalborg University, have coached designers from junior-level to senior, and regulary speak publicly on accessibility and inclusive design.

Product Design manager, Senior Product Designer
Zalando
2019 — 2021

At Zalando, I led the creation of The Label, a new visual language for Europe's largest fashion platform. Once the identity was defined, I shifted focus to rolling it out through the existing design system, managing a team of five UX/UI designers and working with embedded feature designers across search, product, catalogue, and other verticals to make sure the new language landed consistently across the product.

Senior Brand & Communications Designer
EyeEm
2017 — 2019

At EyeEm, I led the rebranding as the company shifted from photography community to creative marketplace. Product and marketing had been growing in parallel with separate visual languages. I built the shared foundation that connected them.

Design Director
Edenspiekermann
2016 — 2017

At Edenspiekermann, I was lead designer on a global marketing management tool for Red Bull, iterating on consumer activation flows across landing pages, online games, and form flows for regional markets and tight timelines. I introduced informal user research on a zero budget, led junior designers, and left behind a UI kit where previously every page had been built from scratch.

Product Designer, Visual Communications Designer
SoundCloud
2013 — 2016

At SoundCloud, I started on the brand and marketing team, designing landing pages, expanding the icon library, and supporting launches including Creator Studio and SoundCloud Go+.

After about eighteen months I moved to the product team, where I worked on the embedded player, including introducing the ability to play directly in the browser rather than being redirected to the site, and led the initial discovery work for a new onboarding flow built around taste-building.

Recommendations

In their words

I truly enjoyed working with Louise. Throughout the two years of our working relationship Louise has continuously shown exceptional strategic thinking and communication capabilities combined with a great can-do attitude.

During our collaboration she has been essential in developing, socializing and implementing Zalando’s newly released visual identity. Something that I truly enjoyed working with her.
Lorenzo Fernandez
Lorenzo was Head of Design at Zalando and managed Louise directly from 2019-2021
Louise has an ability to develop a strong creative vision and making this understandable, scalable and actionable for others in the organisation.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Louise when she joined the design team at EyeEm. It was one of the best decisions I made during my time there as the head of design. I’ve seen Louise be a great mentor to other creatives, helping them to develop their skills, become more effective at how they organise and present themselves, and providing structure and direction when there’s ambiguity.
Robert Kortenoeven
Robert was the Head of Design at EyeEm and managed Louise directly from 2017-2019
Louise worked with me as a Design Lead on a very challenging project for one of the biggest lifestyle brands. Our goal was to build, grow and scale a global marketing management tool. The challenge was interesting as it required a scalable, on time implementation of various consumer activation flows.

Louise brought in an extreme maturity, product focus, collaborative spirit and acted as an inspiring leader for some of our junior designers. Louise is a TOP hire and I would recommend her to anyone, anywhere!
