Malene has worked with us on a wide range of tasks from book cover designs and design of book catalogues and sales material to hand-drawn illustrations and crafted details of book design. Malene is a very inspirational and experienced working partner, offering several solutions through drafts, working with feedback and pointing out the best way to go - or offering satisfying solutions to more specific set assignments. Malene's results are on a high quality level with striking book covers and sales material and remarkable artistic details with a personal edge, fitting superbly to Klim's visual identity. It is a pleasure working together with Malene, we always look forward to offering her new assignments and give her our warmest recommendations.Camilla Rohde Søndergaard, Senior acquisitions editor & publisher, Klim Publishers
Mit arbejde med Malene har især drejet sig om præsentation af skitser til udsmykningsopgaver og kunstprojekter i det offentlige rum. Malene er her med fra start til slut, og står primært for de grafiske og de illustrative præsentationer. Hun fungerer også som den formidlingsmæssige tovholder, hvor hun sluttelig samler materialet og gør det klar til præsentation. Malene er dejlig samarbejdspartner, som både er kvik, stabil, loyal, moden og idérig. Malene arbejder koncentreret med blik for både proces og slutprodukt. Hun er respektfuld over for udgangspunktet og er samtidig ikke bange for at være til stede og bidrage med sin egen mening i forhold til både form og indhold. Malene har en fin integritet og et stort potentiale. Jeg anbefaler hende meget gerne. Kirstine Roepstorff, Independent Fine Art Professional
Malene and I have been working together for several years now and even though we are physically miles apart, cooperation has always been outstanding. We communicate exclusively via Skype or e-mail, which works like a charm. Malene is one of the most experienced and talented graphic designers I know. She has created the visual identity of GOTO Conferences. What amazes me is her ability to create simple yet sophisticated artwork. I would like to encourage Malene to keep up the excellent work and I'm looking forward to working with her on future projectsAndy Knobel, Conference Manager at Trifork
Working with Malene these last few years has been a pleasure. She is always extremely interested in your needs and understands the requirements straight off, making it a fast process working with her and the results are of the highest quality with few iterations ever required. As I have said on Twitter already, she makes my job so much more easier to manage having such quality designed documents to share with my clients, that I cannot recommend Malene highly enough. Malene will add real value to any project she is working onGary Scott Harvey, Community Manager at GOTO Conferences
Malene er virkelig dygtig til at afdække og derefter udtrykke både vores produkt, men også selve nerven i vores firma, i det logo hun har udarbejdet til Grapeland. Alt indenfor kort tid, præcist og omhyggeligt. Vores varmeste anbefalinger.Charite Nielsen, Analyst and Owner at kidsXray, Owner at Grapeland.dk
Internet Week Denmark is a crowdsourced professional festival based on private and public partnerships. Malene is part of the communication team and is co-creating our visual communication with other designers and digital agencies. Malene contributes with great engagement and enthusiasm - the very foundation of our festival. At the same time Malene creates visual solutions which are aesthetic and functional at the same time; making complex topics easy to understand. What's more to say - we are just very lucky!Mai Skou Wihlborg, Project Lead at City of Aarhus
Malene has been able to bring our visions and ideas to life through her designs. As the lead graphic designer for Trifork and GOTO/QCon Conferences, Malene takes a leadership role on design projects from start to finish and always gets them done flawlessly. I have received many positive compliments from our customers on the designs that Malene has created for the conference web, print and other materials. It is a joy working with Malene as she has a unique combination of strong creative energy coupled with the drive to get things done.

The annual Willow Festival at Moesgård Museum has for several years cooperated with Malene, where she has created the visual design of the festival posters and flyers. We are more than happy to work with Malene, who every year has created a beautiful and catchy design out of our scattered thoughts and hundreds of photos. Our opinion is that Malene possesses a rare sense of communication through design
Ulrik Høy Johnsen, Curator at University of Aarhus, Moesgård Museum / Pileforeningen
Malene is a highly creative designer with an outstanding sense of visual design. Given the opportunity her work exceeds the limits between graphical design and art, which invites the observer to reflection and depth. Malene is driven by the high demands she sets on herself. She is accurate, persistent and opportunity-oriented in her approach to tasks and people, which makes her a liked colleague and employee. I enjoy working with Malene because of her pronounced ability to think creatively, ask intelligent questions and deliver convincing designs with an artistic touch.
