Education:Multimediadesigner with top-up PBA web developer
I dream of being a part of something amazing and creative. I love to be creative in my work, and I really work for my own improvement.
I was born in June in the North Zealand, north from Copenhagen in Denmark. I grew up with passion to draw and was generally very creative of my age. From very early, I knew that if I could I would grow up and become something where I could use my creativity.
Three years of intens studying I finally gratuated from High School. My expectations to further education were set. I wanted to become an engineer so I could draw amazing buildings and get my signature out there in the real world. Yeah, I started this education at DTU in Copenhagen but it came to my mind that I could never draw something as an engineer but only do the calculation part of the work. I quitted DTU and started searching for something more creative.
Finally I found an education where I could use my creativity for real. I started Multimediadesign in Lyngby at cph-business. I thought at first that I would love the design part the most but in the end I actually liked coding even more as I developed my skills and got the insight in this new language.
While educating myself to become a multimediadesigner, I got the oportunity to teach the younger multimediadesigners. I were in the class helping the students to fix their errors in their code while the teacher did his pressentation job. In this way the lecture didn't get interupted all the time. I did this for one semester when I had spare time apart from my own lessons.
I got the amazing possibility to be a part of the Coca-Cola company in my internship period in multimediadesign. I went to a lot of meetings and got insight in how a huge company like this communicate and brand themself. I had jobs like creating content for the social medias, chekcing for design failures in their UEFA website and generally getting a lot of insight in how the business works.
As I finished multimediadesign, I decided to go further with my education so I continued on webdevelopment. I wanted to know more and I wanted to improve my skills in coding and here I am - on my way to finish this education which I will graduate from in January 2018.
As I'm moving on in the semesters on webdevelopment, I suddently decided that I could teach the multimediadesigners which are on their 2nd semester. I got the permission for a small class. It started with 2 students and developed to 18 students. I taught them in MySQL and PHP, showing them tools they will be glad to know of when they moved on with their next semester.
