About me
Script consultant
As a consultant, my first approach is to dive into the material and understand the creators’ vision. Once I grasp what is intended — as opposed to what is actually written — I identify which areas of the story need rewriting. I focus on characters and their development, the urgency of “why is this happening now?” — in other words, the story’s premise. Structure and character are deeply interlinked; you can't craft a satisfying story without both.
My role is to help align the script with the creators’ intentions — while also ensuring it holds up in terms of story logic and emotional authenticity.
Screenwriting
I am co-creator and writer of the Netflix series Skiftet (The New Force) and have worked at multiple production companies, developing and writing series. I also write and direct for live theatre. I am passionate about developing stories that both entertain and inspire reflection. I work with stories across genres and formats. I aim to create well-rounded and emotionally authentic characters that challenge expectations and drive strong, structured stories. Whether working on high-concept ideas or intimate character portraits, I always want to create stories that resonates with the audience.
