Limbo Citi
Scalable design system for Danish municipalities
Limbo Citi is Limbo.works’ web platform tailored for Danish municipalities. As lead designer, I built and maintained a design system powered by design tokens. The system supports over 30 themeable content and page templates.
The challenge was to build a scalable product shared by a community of clients, each with their own theme. I designed a flexible design token architecture using Token Studio and Figma’s native features. This allowed us to rapidly generate unique themes from a central library and automatically sync design decisions with the frontend.
The system has proven to be flexible, efficient, and sturdy. It enables Limbo to serve new clients with complex needs while keeping the platform maintainable.
Before leaving Limbo, I created a 10-chapter documentation package, including video tutorials, to ensure the team could confidently maintain and extend Limbo Citi for both existing and future clients. This supported system longevity and minimized disruption post-transition.
HANSENBERG.dk Rethinking a bloated educational website HANSENBERG is a Danish educational institution offering vocational training and technical upper secondary education. As lead designer on both information architecture and visual direction, I helped reimagine their digital presence by building a modern interpretation of their identity while working within the boundaries of their existing design guide. The core challenge was information overload. Editors had no appropriate space to place secondary and tertiary-level practical information, so they placed it in structurally important areas, often burying key content under edge cases. Each education page used a tab-segmented layout that encouraged duplication, as editors feared users would miss something. This led to pages that were bloated, inconsistent, and ultimately inaccessible. We resolved this by designing a filterable FAQ section to house all secondary and special-case information in one structured location. This freed up the main education pages to focus on the information that actually helps HANSENBERG inspire and recruit students. The result was a clearer content strategy, improved findability, and a much leaner site architecture, all while maintaining brand alignment through thoughtful visual refinement.

Mentorship
& design culture
At Limbo, I’ve mentored design interns from start to finish, which meant planning their time, handling check-ins, and making sure they got real-world experience with real clients, real briefs, and real presentations.
Being an intern at Limbo means part production, part learning. I ran sessions on tools, process, and design in context.
I’ve been lucky to work with some wonderful young designers, and to me, that’s one of the most rewarding parts of the job. Seeing them grow makes me prouder than any of my silly designs. People come first. Here are some great creatives I think you should keep an eye on:
Emma Schelander
Graphic designerLinkedIn
Emma is one of the most wonderful creatives I’ve met in a long time — with a razor-sharp, refreshing sense of humor.
Her strength during her internship was thinking outside the box, working in tactile ways, and approaching things with unexpected delight. While at Limbo, she crocheted gold stars to give out when people did something great. That says a lot.Mads Bang
Graphic & webdesignerLinkedIn
PortfolioMads is one of the most versatile, humble, and steady professionals I know. He’s one of those people who are just good at everything — you know the type?
A great mind for systems and client relations, always calm, always prepared. Just a genuinely solid presence and a great addition to any design team – or any team in general, honestly.Lykke Damgaard
Graphic designer & illustratorLinkedIn
Lykke is an extremely rare designer. She can add soul to any project in ways I would never think of. She sees things differently — and it shows, especially in her illustrations.
While she was with us at Limbo, I felt her visual intuition was far beyond her years. Honestly, all she needs to leave us all in the dust is a bit of encouragement and self-belief. She’s will be unstoppable.

Study
2025
I care about how things look, but also how they feel. Swiss design traditions have shaped my perspective, especially their commitment to grid systems and typographic precision. I strive to create work that’s clear, balanced, and visually articulate, while remaining grounded in context and purpose.
I have a people-first approach. Humans are at the center of my work. I try to understand who I’m designing for and what matters to them. That starts with understanding the humans in every project. It means designing experiences that are usable, thoughtful, and respectful. For me, good design is not just functionality or visuals... it’s empathy.
People-first thinking also shapes how I work with others. A project or a piece can never be as important as a person. I try to keep that in mind every time I feel frustrated with a project, client, or colleague. I’ve worked with cross-functional teams across disciplines, and I know how important it is to create space for everyone’s ideas and expertise. Tony taught me that. Ask me about Tony. I try my best to co-create environments where trust is high and egos are low, which is a lot easier said than done. Looking at myself with that one, too. I believe people do their best work when they’re supported and encouraged to learn.
Typography is a particular passion of mine. I work with type every day and have experimented with designing typefaces. My fonts never really turn out that great, but I enjoy the process. Drawing unique letterforms or a few good-looking words is awesome, but I probably lack the stamina and training to complete and polish a full typeface.
I’m also drawn to the technical side of design. I like patterns and systems. I look for scalability in design. I’ve built and contributed to design systems at various scales, and I enjoy bringing structure to complexity. A good system isn’t about control. It’s about enabling creativity and ensuring consistency. It’s about saving time on tedious shit. Systems can also be beautiful. I've stumbled across systems and documentation that were more visually appealing than the products they were made for. How about that?
I became a designer because I’ve always needed to create. As a child, I was constantly drawing and painting. It was a way to bring the stories and characters in my head to life. This early obsession with making things visual eventually met my love for structure. I’ve always had a knack for systems, patterns, and solving visual problems in a methodical way.
Outside of job as a designer, I spend my time creating things. In Danish, there’s a word, skabertrang, which directly translates to ‘creating-need.’ It’s an important word to me. I’ve always felt a deep, ongoing need to make things. I still paint and draw, but also work with lino printing, ceramics, and other tactile media. Playing video games growing up, in some games I would spend more time designing maps and graphical assets than actually playing the game. That’s skabertrang. In my spare time, I make music. I’m practising on the piano and like to build audio textures and hip-hop inspired beats in Ableton. There’s no end goal or ambition involved. I do it for the simple pleasure of discovering something new I didn’t know I could make. That creative drive is still what fuels my day-to-day work.
