Bio

I am from Kvænangen/Skjervøy in Northern Norway, and I have been passionate about design and technology ever since I learned to code as a child and discovered the joy of making websites. Before I moved to Oslo and started my master’s in design, I spent a few years working at design agencies as a digital designer and web developer.

When I am not working on various design projects, you can find me at the yoga studio, walking outside (often with a dog, sometimes on a horse), or in the kitchen making vegan food with good company.

Designer @ Variant Oslo

With one designer and two developers, I worked for Sparebank 1 in the pensions department, and helped design an MVP based on user insight that uses a language model to make it faster and easier to handle cases that must be processed manually. The project included gathering user insight through facilitating workshops and conducting interviews, and we built the solution through an iterative design process where we tested the product on users and made improvements based on feedback and observations.
