About – Hau

Hi there!

My name is Mette, and I'm a freelance art director, graphic designer and illustrator with a love for simple, creative concepts that make people wonder, smile or act. When it comes to creativity and design I'm chronically curious, and I always try to expand and develop my skillset. So if you are in need of a catchy call-to-action or a bouncy animation, I'm also your gal.

I'm based in Copenhagen, and I'm always up for a new collab.

Stalk me here: @mette_hau
And talk me here: haularsen@gmail.com
