Speaker Kim Pedersen

Landed on earth 1969—the year of Woodstock and the moonlanding. Grew up in the country in a family of independant merchants. My grandfather worked at the copenhagen townhall and my grandmother was helping fashion designers of the six­ties realising their dreams. I was an eager student in both drawing and wearing official townhall guards caps.
After school I started 4 years formal training in the repro-business to get into The Graphic Arts Institute.
At the age of 21 I started at the Institute as a student of Graphic Communication-the department where I later worked for 5 years as a teacher in web, typography and typedesign.
Recently I fullfilled a dream of moving back to the coun­try again, with my girlfriend Helle and my two daughters, Natascha (11) and Isabella (7). The house, being an old bakery from the year 1860, is located at a small village in the upper part of Seeland. Everyday I cross the Crownprince Frederiks Bridge over Roskilde Fjord, where the danish vikings once set out to conquer the world.
I settle with conquering my desk as a creative director at a fastmoving wireless services company called Realtime located by the waterfront in Copenhagen.
