Following their recent rebrand, I reimagined the landing page for one of Scandinavia's biggest cloud storage providers.

I created an animated portfolio showreel for Good Looking Design, a strategic design agency based in the United Kingdom.

With two Bachelor's degrees in Graphic Design and Visual Communication earned by 2015, my academic background sets me apart in an industry where many are self-taught: A decade of experience spanning collaborative agency work to independent creative direction across multiple industries.
I like venturing out into the unknown, pushing limits and my imagination. Growing up creating computer graphics, I've always been building, creating, tinkering and exploring. I'm a lifelong learner and doer with an innate passion for problem solving that to this day fuels my creative work.

Schibsted Create
Working at Norway's largest media company, Schibsted, I initiated, planned, designed and animated their internal ad agency’s revamped showreel.
Gina bygger landet
I created the visual identity for an activist-hosted podcast where protest aesthetics meets construction tape and rough, gritty typography.
Over the years I’ve been fortunate to try a range of creative roles.

At Schibsted, I worked with their in-house agency to transform B2C-campaigns from some of the largest brands in Norway into digital collateral, landing pages and more.
I also initiated, planned, designed and animated the agency’s revamped showreel using After Effects.

Before that I co-founded and ran a little design studio in rural Norway; worked as a designer in an Oslo-based agency; and spent a few years teaching design software at Kristiania University of Applied Sciences.
These days I'm looking at how to bridge the gap between static design and dynamic user experiences, teaching myself Rive to master interactive UX animation while also freelancing.
In my spare time you can find me exploring the Bay Area with my wife, taking photos and trying out new pizza recipes.
