About

Hello! My name is Adam. I'm from Denmark but moved to London to study fashion design at Central Saint Martins. Recently graduated, I'm now looking for work to grow my skillset and gain more experience within the industry. I have the most work experience within textiles and outerwear, and I'm especially interested in how we can change the industry to be better for people and the planet. On placement year, I was at Acne Studios in Stockholm and Chanel in Paris, where they ended up hiring me to stay a bit longer, before I had to go back to university to finish my degree. During my final year at Central Saint Martins, I was awarded the prestigious Swarovski Foundation Scholarship for my pursuit to create an environmentally sustainable collection.

Recommendations
Henrik Hiltula
Direct manager - Head of Outerwear, Acne Studios AB
Aug 2022 - Feb 2023

It was very pleasant to have Adam as my direct assistant for his 6 months apprenticeship at Acne Studios. He brought a good spirit and mood everyday to the whole menswear design team and he always took on tasks with the right mindset to grow in his role as well as to understand the design process. He got a big curiosity and is not afraid to ask questions, at the same time he showed great proof to work independently and took responsibility of his own work. He followed through every step thoroughly from research and fittings to production launches, assisting me with 3D mock-ups, toilles and digital visuals. I'm happy to recommend Adam.
