Paper of recommendation // Julian Holm Kristensen
I have had the pleasure of having Julian as a student in my classes on Brand Design at The Bachelor
Degree Programme in Design & Business at Copenhagen School of Design and Technology. The
Bachelor Degree Programme in Design & Business is aimed towards the lifestyle industry and the
students acquire skills on the theory and practice associated with it.
As Julian’s former Brand Design lecturer I know Julian as a very dedicated, committed, talented and
active student. Julian has been an ideal student. He is able to generate creative and innovative work on
his own as well as working as a team player. He has been able to achieve the highest grades and my
deepest respect as he has demonstrated outstanding leadership and high ambitions.
Julian has a great drive and has always delivered products of a high quality. He is an outstanding
debater and he is also a talented concept developer. He has within a team of 5 students won an award
for making one of the best solutions for IKEA among 8 teams at Brand Design (2015).
Even though Brand Design is challenging, Julian has managed to have a relevant student job at Danish
Technological Institute as a Brand Designer, while he was following my course.
Due to the unique combination of Design and Business at Copenhagen School of Design & Technology,
Julian is trained to understand current challenges a company faces in complex markets. By well-
documented analysis he is able to suggest innovative and competitive solutions, in both theoretical
and practical ways.
Based on my experience I can highly recommend Julian to anyone, who wants a motivated and
professional designer, business developer and project manager on their team. I trust he will contribute
positively and perform well in the challenges he will face. I wish Julian all the best.
