ABOUT

I am a Multidisciplinary Graphic Designer and visual artist from Bergen, Norway.

I graduated with honours in Graphic Design from Teesside University and have a Master degree in Visual Communication from Birmingham City University.

​

I have some knowledge about web design and photography, but my work now mostly focuses on graphic design, print, branding and illustration. My specialisms range from print, brand identity and traditional illustration. I also have a great interest in hand crafting and book making and try to work with my hands as much as possible, as I believe that the human element is still very important in todays modern design world. Combining traditional with digital is something I really enjoy! Visit my Instagram to get a glimpse of my artwork.

 

I like to pursue hobbies that includes needle felting and photography, which you can get a glimpse of from my photography Instagram. Inspiration comes in many forms, some of which are music, films, video games, books (especially comic books) and traveling. Can you guess what my favourite colour is?
