Hi Martin!Tell us a little bit about yourself.Where are you from and how did your passion for the world of design and digital media started?
It all began with my first computer back in ´93. A whole new world suddenly hit me. I am originally from Denmark, but 4 years ago I landed in a job in Dubai. A move that has been truly inspirational for me and has turned out to be the beginning of a whole new adventure for me. The city is crazy in both good and bad terms and has played a very big role in my way of thinking the last couple of years! 6 months ago I had my weeding in Greece and I have stayed here since. I have been working freelance from my balcony. But this Christmas it’s time to move back home to Denmark and therefore I am actually in a search for a new job at the moment.

Your portfolio is full of truly amazing pieces.What is your usual creative process?
Thanks! I would lie if I said I didn’t find inspiration from sites like Creative side. But I also look at magazines and street art. I also find a lot of inspiration through music and I love to go to concerts and look at the motion graphics together with listening to some good music.

How long did you take, normally, to make one of those works?
It depends. It’s a process. Sometimes it sits right there. Other times I have to leave the piece and come back and work on it…..
All from 1 hour to several days.

For you, whats the most important quality that a designer must have to succeed in the world of design?
Passion. You can always learn the programs, but if you don’t have passion you will never get what it takes to be successfull. This is not a 9 to 5 job, the creative mind never sleeps.

All the best for you Martin, and thanks for being the first exclusive interview from our website
My pleasure. Thanks for having me and thanks for a good website!
