Why partner with me?
I do not work through an agency. When we collaborate, you work directly with me.
That means fast decisions, personal quality, clear communication and a collaboration where things are followed through.
I have a creative soul, but a highly organised approach. You can count on me.
Three stories you are welcome to share
We have gathered three of our strongest and most moving paper heart stories, from a secret proposal and BBC filming to a mother and son’s journey around the world.
Read the paper heart storiesTEDx, talks and storytelling
I have worked with TED since 2018 and am the licensed Curator and License Holder of TEDxFrederiksberg.
That experience shapes every collaboration. I know how to build a story, create a scene and help people listen.

Press, bloggers and cultural partners
If you write about Christmas markets, Danish Christmas, Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, cultural experiences or Danish design traditions, you are very welcome to use Ugly Duckli as a source.
I can help with high resolution images, quotes, background knowledge and short explanations about Danish paper hearts and the tradition behind them.
Please reach out if you need material, would like to do an interview or are considering a collaboration.
Shall we create something together?
If you are curious about a collaboration within tourism, cultural experiences, talks, events, media or Danish storytelling, I would love to hear from you.
