Frederik Plesner
I’m a designer based in Copenhagen working with visual identity, art direction and graphic design. I help clients express who they are by visualizing their beliefs through creative and conceptual design solutions based on an analytical and research-driven approach. Doing that I engage in a wide variety of task across multiple media – ranging from identity and digital applications to editorial and moving images. Currently I'm working as a senior designer at Barkas. Feel free to get in touch for more information, new projects, commissions or collaborations.
