Communicator, graphic designer, illustrator

I am a graphic designer with broad experience from the media industry, advertising, and the R&D sector. I work mainly with design and marketing communication at a strategic level, but I also move into the landscape for "free expressions" and non-commercial projects for pure professional development.

One of my main interests is that there must be a balance between strategic brand building, creativity, and a focus on quality in the craft aspects of visual communication. I believe that if visual communication is to work well, it must take into account three considerations: 1 The strategic/analytical. 2 The creative. 3 The craft.

I am a member of Grafill (Norwegian graphic designers and illustrators) and NFFO (Norwegian Non-Fiction Writers Association). I have a master sertificate in graphic design (Mesterbrev i grafiske fag). I got my certificate as a graphic designer while working in the newspaper Adresseavisen. My time at Adresseavisen gave me a strong interest in typography and editorial design.

I studyed fine arts at Kabelvåg art school and I have a master certificate as Graphic designer, I also studyed video production. The training and work with art, filming and video made me very interested in photography, something I still practice.

I have been project manager and designer on several marketing campaigns for NTNU and others. Through NTNU projects I've been named "Marketer of the year" («Årets markedsfører») by Trondheim market association, been awarded diplomas and price in "Strong advertising", and nominated several times for a European Excellence Award.
