About

Dedicated designer with 10+ years experience in strategic design across various media – both digital and physical, with clients that range from small arts and culture institutions to large companies and organizations – in various industries.

Diploma (BA level) in graphic design from Westerdals School of Communication. Work experience from Oslo, Amsterdam and New York.

Head of design at Netlife 2020–2022. Jury member at Visuelt 2022–2023.

When working (or not) I believe in music, coffee, sunshine, rainy days, the first snow, hard work, good ideas, strong concepts, alone time, togetherness, boredom, storytelling, sharing, the good in people, utepils (google that), the unexpected, late nights, early mornings, fresh air, taking breaks, laughing out loud and more of that.

RIGHT NOW

I’m based in Oslo and am available for freelance work, collaborations or hiring. Currently working on projects for NorgesGruppen and Racing Heart Music.

UP UNTILL RECENTLY

I was working as a designer at Netlife in Oslo, Norway [2016–2023], where I spent my time on branding and UX projects, often combined. Brand building is closest to my heart, and is the perspective I bring into all projects that I do.

BEFORE THAT

I worked freelance with visual identities, editorial design and illustration, mainly in the cultural sector [2014–2016]
Went on a world tour and had internships in Amsterdam and NYC [2012–2014]
Did some education and had some jobs [2007–now]
