About

Hi,

I’m a 24-year-old Norwegian product designer who can code and excel with data and numbers. My previous work spans designing tech products for industries such as vertical farming, education reform, venture capital, indoor air quality, to creative tools — all efforts to make a positive difference in society.

Currently, I’m a master’s student at the University of Pennsylvania for the Integrated Product Design degree, where I specialise in Human-Computer Interaction.

My current focus lies in building better tools to augment how we learn and solve problems.

My programming & design tools

Figma / Framer / Rhino3D / Blender / Javascript / ReactJS / HTML / CSS / C# / Unity3D / Swift / SwiftUI / Python / MySQL / Tableau / UML Modelling / Excel / ARKit / CoreML
