Designing and teaching a 15 week game design course focused on non-digital games, rapid prototyping and interactive storytelling. The students explore different genres of games, ranging from live action role-playing games to VR-experiences and escape rooms. During the course, students make their own games, some of them analog and some of them digital.

Spilværk helps schools, teachers, and pedagogues with the implementation of game-based learning. We offer workshops where we teach children how to make their own games, from the first paper prototype to the final polished product. We believe that digital literacy and 21st-century skills are strengthened immensely by working with gaming, design-thinking and game development, and we are bringing this mindset to the educational world.

Amnara is about uniting the powers of play, design, and learning. Bringing together methods and ideas from game development, experience design and educational studies, I strive to create playful and transformative experiences. No matter if my user is a student, a teacher or a player I need to engage them. This is what I design for.

HippoMini is an educational technology company, specialised in establishing makerspaces at schools. As a didactic designer, my job was to design educational activities around 3D modeling, 3D printers, drones, robots and bitware like Arduino and LittleBits. From short workshops to a one month project for 80 pupils, I have worked as a consultant, helping schools facilitate the acquisition of 21st century skills. Besides my primary tasks, I have contributed with project management, graphic design and copy writing.

Spilhuset, Copenhagen

In PlayingMinds I worked as an intern, improving the game design of an educational augmented reality game. Besides defining, playtesting and communicating the mechanics of the game, I worked on the visual identity of the game, making concept art and assets in Adobe Illustrator og Photoshop.

Designing a larp (live action roleplaying game) suitable for inexperienced players and game runners. Everything needed to run the larp for 15-50 players fits in a storage box, and the larp can be scaled easily. The larp was commisioned by the Bifrost project "The Orcs Are Coming" and funded by Nordea Fonden. The design process is documented in my master's thesis "Larp-In-A-Box - a Playcentric Approach to Beginner-Friendly Larp Design.

Lejre

Som formidler af vikingetid og jernalder, instruerer og formidler jeg om fortidens levevis for Sagnlandets gæster. Sagnlandet Lejre er et yndet udflugtsmål for både danske og udenlandske gæster, da det byder på flot natur og rekonstruerede fortidsmiljøer. Jeg formidler i rolle, så gæsterne får oplevelsen af at tale med en vikingekvinde frem for blot at tale med en guide i kostume. Jobbet har givet mig rig erfaring med at være på, da jeg både skal spille skuespil og kunne fungere som turistguide. Desuden har jeg opnået viden om fortidens levevis og har lært diverse historiske håndværk.

I mit arbejde hos Eventyrriderne har mine opgaver omfattet at spille adskillige roller, give folk en på opleveren, sørge for kundeservice, opsætning og pakning før events, samt deltage i en gnidningsfri afvikling. I forbindelse med gruppeevents har jeg skulle spille ind i eksisterende gruppedynamikker og bruge mine pædagogiske evner.

Jeg startede med at undervise et lille hold unge med autismespektrumforstyrrelser i tegning - mere specifikt den japanske manga-stil. Da min ansættelse blev forlænget, kom jeg til at undervise i to fag til: Rollespil og Tekstil-design. Mine primære ansvarsområder var at forberede og tilrettelægge min undervisning, samt afvikle de kreative fag på en måde der var struktureret og inkluderende. I forbindelse med rollespilstimerne fik jeg desuden erfaring som Gamemaster.
