I'm a designer who's passionate about creating things that matter. My work is driven by a playful curiosity into the intersection of technology and society. I like to make things with social purpose.


Currently solving complex design challenges at Designit

Human first,
always.


As a designer, I’m deeply committed to understanding user needs and working collaboratively to create solutions that are empathetic and meaningful. Specialising in UX design, with experience across product and visual design, I strive to deliver thoughtful and impactful user experiences.

What excites me most about emerging technologies is their potential to transform how we interact with the world. I take a human-centred approach, applying technologies to create work anchored in ethics.

Currently I’m at Designit Oslo, working closely with diverse clients, embedding within software development teams to design lasting, user-centred solutions that drive results while meeting real needs.
