I’m Nikolaj, a designer and strategist with a background in shaping spaces, products, and brands.

My past experience includes working at Bjarke Ingels Group in Copenhagen and at Graft Brandlab, a brand innovation agency in Berlin. I have worked on various types of projects, ranging from architecture and interior design to brand spaces, exhibition design, as well as product design and development. I have collaborated on numerous high-profile, interdisciplinary design projects and worked with clients such as Tesla, Adidas, Huawei, and others.

In recent years, I co-founded a product design company, FOLDS. The mission of FOLDS is to bring great design objects to the masses, and we have been establishing the brand in both retail and e-commerce. As the creative lead of the brand, I have been involved in all aspects of product development, supply chain management, logistics, operations, and overall brand and business strategy.

With experience in both product- and service-based businesses, I have gained a holistic understanding of the design process, encompassing creative, strategic, and operational aspects.
