Projects
- MediSýnMediSýn is a new drug advisory service in Iceland. Their focus is to bring pharmacological services to all medical centres in Iceland and thereby ensuring better and more coordinated services, more cost-effective procurement, better information provision for medical staff, and other forms of consultancy regarding drug purchases and drug use. The word MediSýn is a word play combining two words; medicine and sýn (which in Icelandic means vision). Therefore I chose to combine an eye and med
- Grandi Mathöll (Food Hall)A project done at Íslenska for Grandi Mathöll in 2018. Grandi Mathöll is a new foodhall in Reykjavík, located at the harbour area Grandi, set to open in June 2018.

In the beginning the task was to re-design their paint buckets, which led to the making of everything from a new colour chart to marketing material such as web banners, printed ads and a TV commercial. KÓPAL’s paint buckets had stayed the same for more than 20 years. Art Direction & graphic design by me. TV
- 0,01%For my final project at Iceland Academy of the Arts I chose to make an artistic book about trees and timber. The book includes basic information on trees, an article about the tree of life, as well as details on ten tree types I chose to analyze. Why did I choose to work with wood and trees?
