Mads Lindegård Hjorth

This is my personal homepage. I spend most days in Copenhagen1620Denmark with my family and make a living designing government it-solutions.

This page is a stable online presence and a point of contact. The email I read most often is madsh@me.com.

Maybe one day, here will be a blog. Possibly called ‘What If…?’ and chronic ideas of things in public digitisation that could be, and the reasons why they aren’t.

Services

I do short term consultations outside of my everyday work. You can hire me for a few hours of either meeting, teaching or producing pages that print well. Contact me at madsh+work@me.com for availability, possible conflict of interests and hourly rates.
