Recommendations mentioning curiosity.

I worked very closely with Michael on designing the interactions and user experience on Paperpal features. Much of the trademark Scandinavian simplicity and intuitiveness that you experience on Paperpal is due to Michael's clean aesthetic. Edutech applications can be highly specialized and complex, and there's a bit of a learning curve; Michael's layperson POV helped us innovate and take more risks on — he never once felt compelled to copy from the competition. Throughout the time we worked together, Michael also supported product with UXR initiatives including prototype tests that helped us get a better idea about our users and their needs. Above all, I appreciated working with a designer I could riff ideas off, instead of just working in a directive fashion.

Michael and I have been working closely together on quite few project during his time at Center for Digital Youth Care from 2013-2014. Among others Cyberhus.dk, Netstof.dk and Følgeven.dk. I have come to know Michael as a highly skilled web designer, a sincerely curious observer and a calm and very honest co-worker. Michael is creative, fast and intuitive in his workflow and at the same time he is able to maintain a solid focus on the quality and durability of his products. He has a great eye for simplicity and for boiling down complex situations to minimalist design solutions. I believe any company should consider themselves lucky to have Michael on the team.

I got to knew Michael as he started in the early days of Trustpilot, when we were all young and inexperienced. Michael took part of the journey from a small company to a much more established size. We all learned tremendously from that journey, and earned real battle experience. As the company HQ moved to Copenhagen, and Michael decided to work from the Copenhagen office, despite his family living in Aarhus. We really appreciated that commitment. Michael is just a pleasure to work with and is excellent when you ping-pong on new ideas. You always walk away smarter. His constant creativity did not only move our product, but did also affect his co-workers on a daily basis. I never met anyone with such an amazing curiosity towards new developments within technology. Personally — Michael is a kind, generous guy with a very funny sense of humour. In short, I recommend Michael highly.

Michael did a redesign of my webshop, ingenkirkeskat.dk. The redesign incorporates ideas from responsive web design. Michael is clearly very talented and skilled when it comes to web design. And I never met anyone with such an amazing curiosity towards new developments within technology. In short, I recommend Michael highly.
