Hello, here is some info about me. I was born in 1975 in Bergen, Norway. I completed a BA (Hons) in Visual Communication at the Kent Institute of Art & Design in England in 1997 where I did two years in the illustration class and changed to graphic design for the final year. I then began working at Melvær & Lien a design agency based in Stavanger for one year. In 2000 I moved to Switzerland and joined Velvet GMBH, we opened an office in New York where I worked for a about one year followed by 8 years in Switzerland as an art director and designer for big brands like Stimorol, Flims Laax, Santa Cruz, Völkl Skis and Paiste Cymbals where I worked with concept and art direction of several international campaigns and general design. Since 2007 I have been freelance in Oslo as part of the collective Brenneriveien working with graphic design and focusing more and more on illustration. Our collective www.brenneriveien.no is developing to become a diversed resource of creative illustrative imagemaking.
