Louise From product design & branding

Hi! I'm Louise, a Principal Product Designer based in Copenhagen. I help teams design thoughtful, accessible digital products, and the systems behind them.

My career started in Denmark, followed by eight years at international tech companies in Berlin. I’m now back in Copenhagen, working across product design, systems, and team enablement.

I hold a master’s degree in Visual Communication from Kolding School of Design, and started my career in graphic design before moving into UX and product work. Over the years, I’ve transitioned into leading cross-functional design efforts, focusing on clarity, accessibility, and scalable systems.

I’ve had the chance to work with some amazing teams across industries like fashion, finance, public health, and media:

At Charlie Tango, I lead UI design for clients in finance and healthcare, including KommuneKredit and Zealand University Hospital. Alongside delivery work, I’ve taken on design operations, building workflows, upskilling colleagues in Figma, and shaping how design happens.
At Zalando, I led the visual redesign of their flagship product and managed a team of five design systems designers, working to bring product and brand into alignment.
At EyeEm, I led a full rebranding effort and helped establish a unified design system that bridged product and marketing.

I’m passionate about inclusive design. I regularly speak about accessibility and hold a certification in WCAG 2.2 for UX Designers. I continue to advocate for accessibility as a mindset, not a checklist.

More broadly, I enjoy working where design can act as a connector, between disciplines, teams, and users. I lead through collaboration, not hierarchy, and care just as much about the environment design happens in as I do about the end result.

Right now, I’m exploring Principal or Staff-level roles where I can help shape meaningful products, grow design culture, and build systems that scale with care.

If you’d like to connect, or just grab a coffee, I’d love to hear from you.

What others say

Lorenzo Fernandez

Lorenzo managed Louise directly at Zalando, 2021

"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."

Robert Kortenoeven

Robert managed Louise directly at EyeEm, 2018

"Louise has an ability to develop a strong creative vision and making this understandable, scalable and actionable for others in the organisation, the markings of a good creative director. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Louise when she joined the design team at EyeEm in 2017. 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. If you happen to be looking for an experienced designer with the right skills to lead and direct small teams, then I suggest you reach out to Louise right now."
