Hi. I'm a graphic designer and brand-developer from Oslo, Norway.

As a designer and a brand identity nerd, I strive to make information accessible to everyone. Design is not merely decoration but should help the make the message stand out and support brand identity.

For my next challenge I am looking for a job in the industry were I can use my experience in design and communication to lead a design process, engage with clients and work with colleagues to make the brief right and find the best solution.

In addition – having worked as a designer with several corporate identity projects, I would love to get a position were I can contribute as a visual identity manager or Brand manager for a larger company. A strategic designer position or project manager with client contact could also be a position where I think I can contribute greatly.

I can also interested in interesting traditional graphic design positions around the world. (This is why I write this in English - even though I'm Norwegian :)

I'm an experienced developer of new visual identities for various companies as well as a graphic designer and concept developer making use of existing identity programs to develop advertising campaigns, magazines, programs, webdesign, content for social media and branding in general.

I currently work as a communication adviser to the Conservative Party of Norway making sure all visual communication in our organisation are consistent and updated with the latest changes. I work in a team that develop advertising campaigns with agencies and In-house personell. The last year have taken on the task of updating the visual identity of the organisation. My goal was to make the identity more modern and especially to stand out on on small screens, social media, video and animation.

I also help visualising policy-proposals – on every platform. I also help with weekly production of printed and online designs. This includes material for conferences. Invitations, badges, programs, presentations, social media.

Previously I worked three years as a graphic designer at Coor Media were I got to work with clients like ISF, DNV GL, Thenamaris Ship Management, Applica, Coor Service Management, Signal Maritime and The Norwegian Association of Optometry. I made the visual identity for ISF (Norsk Informasjonssikkerhetsforum) and Signal Maritime. Other positions have included teaching, design-assistant, and other related positions in Arendal, Tønsberg and Oslo.

I have a passion great design and try to keep up with the many changes in the industry. I keep-up with trends but I also have a passion for finding inspiration in art, atomic/mid century modernism, photography, indie video-games and TV-series ... and jazz.
