Work
Hi there!
I'm Nikolaj Riise (and yes, it's pronounced like rice in English). I'm originally from a small town called Lemvig in West Jutland, where it's always windy, but since 2022 I've been living in Copenhagen.
I love coming up with ideas and executing them together with other talented people. These ideas can be within advertising, branding, visual identities, or storytelling through videos.
I'm incredibly passionate about cycling and spend much of my free time pushing watts on the road, either in Denmark or abroad. Although I'm from a place where there’s always a strong headwind, unfortunately, it hasn’t made me as fast as Jonas Vingegaard.
