About me — honestly
Hey, I’m Hjalmar.
Ideas should feel clear before they feel clever.
Aarhus · Denmark
Draws first. Opens Adobe second.
I’m a graphic designer who feels most at home somewhere between a sketchbook and an After Effects timeline. I turn complicated ideas into visual stories that feel simple, human and alive.
By day I design at TV2 Østjylland, where graphics have to be sharp, fast and understood in a second. Outside the newsroom, I take on freelance projects with a clear purpose, a little personality and room for a strong idea.
