About me
As an art director, I work with visualizing and developing ideas for magazines, newspapers, and brands. At the moment I work as an Art Director at Volt fashion, a chain of men's fashion stores with 80+ shops in Norway, Sweden & Finland. I am also the founder and creative director of Brygg Magazine, a print and web magazine, dedicated to conveying in-depth conversations, juxtaposed personal travel stories. The first issue was released in October 2014 and is sold at mainstream and specialty magazine shops, cafés and lifestyle stores internationally. My colleagues know me as creative and ambitious. My best work is done when there is room for dialogue and collaborations but I also work well on my own.
