What happens in the spaces when design is not just a job, but a way of life? There is only feedback. Success’ is not something you achieved it’s something you are.
My name is Mariane Mickelborg, I’m an experienced Art Director and visual explorer, based in Copenhagen. I have a bachelor's degree in ‘Information Science and Cultural Communication’ from the University of Copenhagen, 2013. And a top-up in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Fulfilling the trust of success in what I was born to accomplish and experience. Living a life of privilege with gratitude and high spirit.
This is a viewbook that’s not merely a traditional portfolio; it is a living record of a creatively lived life. I operate at the intersection of digital communication, information design, and human intuition. Through a collection of visual posts, projects, and fragments of everyday life, I document the stories that stir something deep within, the pull of not always taking the official path. Capturing both successful visions and the unpredictable detours where true inspiration emerges. It is an exploration of the Nordic design aesthetic, coupled with a profound curiosity about - and insight into - what it means to create from the heart. Welcome to my viewbook.

Tokyo has a population of 38 million (in the entire Greater Tokyo metropolitan area). Tokyo is divided into 23 special districts referred to as Ku in Japanese. We managed to get to some of them, while we were there. Kind people and an optimized society with focus on space-saving functionality - inspiring in every way.
Design is a way of making life fun and rich as well as expanding the potential of people's thoughts and actions. Minato district 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT holds exhibitions devoted to the theme of "everyday life”. Design is not only about something that can be seen, but also helps build human-to-object or human-to-human relationships. 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT is the hub where the future of design as culture is discovered and created.
A broader culture in which they dress up as characters from manga, anime, games, or dolls, and where the bag plays a central and coordinated role as an accessory.
