I'm Maja Pedersen and I'm a danish multidisciplinary creator with a masters degree in Medialogy. This have gained 5 years of insight in Human-Computer Interactions, perception and development of media solutions to cases. I thrive creating crossmedia experiences to investigate human interactions with multidimensional spaces.

My music background, playing violin and cello, taught me discipline, attention to detail, and collaboration — skills I apply in my designing processes.

Don't hestitate to ask any questions you might have.
