About Me – Morten Holst

Morten

Holst

For me, design is all about purpose. I create digital products that not only look good but also reach the right audience and convey a clear message. I focus on building a consistent red thread between branding and content, making sure everything from visuals to copywriting is aligned, recognizable, and memorable.

My History with Design

What started as a childhood curiosity for design has grown into a skill set, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Figma. Recently, I’ve expanded into Klaviyo, Canva, and Figma Buzz to create content and seamless handoff.

CONTENT CREATION

Content Creation is my specialization, and is what I’m currently focused the most on.

For content creation I primarily use and work like this:

Figjam for visually planning content
Canva & Figma Buzz to easily create SoMe content
Premiere Pro & After Effects for video-editing
Klaviyo to build newsletters
Figma to design newsletters
Tiktok & Meta business suite to analyse KPI

UI/UX DESIGN

UI Design & UX Design is also one of my passions. My work typically follows design thinking  Per phase I use different programs like so

Empathize & Define:

Figjam for saving research, making personas and brainstorming
Google Forms to create surveys

Ideation:

Pen and paper, then later on put my ideas into figma.

Prototype & Testing:

I use Figma to create my prototypes, and test them using 5 second tests or the like.

Implementation:

Primarily WordPress with Elementor or Visual Studio Code

GRAPHIC DESIGN

Graphic Design is what I have the most experience on. I started studying it in 2017, at HANSENBERG in Kolding.  When creating graphic design I usually use:

Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator

FRONTEND DEV

I mostly use my frontend development skills to create widgets inside of WordPress. I can also create websites using HTML & CSS  My skills:

HTML
CSS
JavaScript

Work-Life Balance

Admittedly, I ❤️ design. I love working with design, I love making stuff and seeing the outcomes. Despite this, I value having a good work-life balance, because that’s where inspiration lives.  

As a creative, I tend to consume other creative works – Whether I’m listening to music while playing Sudoku, watching a heartbreaking romcom or reading a dystopian novel. I’m constantly seeking out stories, moods, and ideas that feed my creativity.
