  • - DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE
  • - ART and other CULTURAL ASPECTS of LIFE

BACKGROUND

Kirsten has a B.A. in journalism from The Danish School of Journalism (www.dmjx.dk/international/) where she began studying in 1989 after years of working in all sorts of challenging jobs and living in New York, Paris, Sevilla and Copenhagen. Some of her journalistic training took place in London and Paris.

After graduation she spent 18 months working for Denmark’s leading royal glossy magazine, Billed-Bladet, before moving on to doing ”hard news” and documentaries at one of Denmark’s main tv-stations, TV3. In the autumn of 1996 she launched herself as an autonomous/self-employed tv-reporter/director/producer and print & photojournalist and her company, MAD FROG PRODUCTIONS, became a reality.
