Overview
I have studied art, illustration and fashion design at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design in Copenhagen, Denmark. For the past few years, my freelance assignments have been quite varied reaching across commercial and fashion illustration to wallpaper design, packaging and prints for textiles and clothes.
My work has been included in many compilations on illustration, and I have created quite a few editorials for various magazines like Marie Claire, cosmoGIRL!, Wall Street Journal and Mail and Globe Magazine. I have worked with publishers like Anova Books, Orion Books, BIS Publishers, Hearst, Egmont and Bonniers.
I am used to working with agencies and clients world-wide and have been doing so for years. I sell and exhibit originals and prints to private collectors and have exhibited my work internationally.
With all those fancy words said; no job is too small (or too big - ha!), so do not hesitate to contact me for a quote!

I trusted her vision all the way. I also hired her to draw several sketches for the interior of my book. I let her decide which poems to draw sketches for and I loved every single one she drew. She's professio...

Working with Mia was a great experience. This was my first time self publishing a book; so you could imagine the questions I had about cover design and its entire process. Mia was very professional, informative, patient and accommodating. I have already recommended her to other authors, and will continue to do so. She's an AMAZING artist and professional. Thank you so very much, Mia!

Working with Mia was a great experience! I went into the collaboration with a very vague idea of what I wanted my cover to look like; Mia took my vague ideas, as well as some passages from my book that I chose, and created something truly beautiful! She listened to all of my suggestions, provided plenty of cover options to choose from and adjust, and really worked with me to make something that...
