About
Henrik Lübker, ph.d.
CEO – Design denmark
Curious by nature…
I work with strategic planning and concept development, creativity and transformation in design, tech, museology and art.
I have had the privilege of leading numerous creative projects, processes, and partnerships – always driven by a desire to go beyond the known, tried and tested. I am particularly interested in transformative projects, performative storytelling and the intersections between technology, art and design, and people.
