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.
