Hi — I'm Emily, a product designer based in Copenhagen.
I work across UI and design systems, with AI woven into how I work. Over the last few years I've driven a design system used by 15+ designers, built AI tooling that lets non-designers prototype safely within it, and rebuilt our foundations around accessibility.
