Bio
Thorbjørn König
Mette holds the rare gift of being deeply intuitive and deeply analytical at the same time – a flexibility of mind that makes her extremely creative. In addition, she possesses the professional experience that gives her the confidence to make bold strategic design decisions, as well as the ability to design beautiful products. Extremely good team-player – great interpersonal skills, fun and generous.
Mette Lee Damsgaard
I met Mette 5 years ago for a job interview, and I instantly liked her. Since, I have been fortunate to work with her on several projects at Open and e-conomic, and I have always appreciated her creative mind and straightforwardness. Mette is very experienced within a number of design disciplines. She is able to be both an efficient hands-on UX Designer carrying out high quality deliveries and at the same time be an abstract Design Thinker and Strategist. Also, she confidently moves between directing a Design team and simultaneously works with teams on the same tasks. There is no ego issue - on the contrary. Working with Mette is a walk in the park: easy, humorous and pleasant! Her work is solid, well thought, integrated, and aesthetic. She has great eye for details and a good understanding of the digital space. There are tons of great things to mention about Mettes design abilities and collaboration skills, but what truly makes her a valued asset for any company is her wonderful engaging personality, which is reflected in the things she does. Her down to earth attitude, positivity, support, level of ambition, approachability and coolness! Still in doubt, call me.
