Pernille was born in Denmark (1976) and grew up as an expat kid in Africa and Asia. She holds a Bachelor of International Media and Culture (University of Roskilde, Denmark/Université de Bourgogne, France) and a Master of Arts (University of Amsterdam). In her early twenties she moved from Copenhagen to Amsterdam, where she worked as a performance artist in the dance circuit, and worked as a stylist, producer and a creative writer. Her combined skills and network of creative mavens landed her a job at Frame Publishers (2004) as Assistant Editor and Art-Buyer. Later she became Trend Analyst and Design Manager at Streative Branding (2006). In 2008, Pernille developed MARE’s trend department which includes a highly curated network of forefront experts.
