I have broad experience in graphic design, UX design, web design and digital marketing, with particular expertise in e-commerce. I am passionate about creating visual, user-friendly solutions that deliver measurable results, combining creativity with strategy to produce work that is genuinely effective.
Throughout my career I have used design as a tool to build bridges — between brands and people, and between complexity and clarity. After moving to a new country and rebuilding my life from scratch, I have experienced first-hand how powerful visual communication can be. For me it is more than a profession: it has been a way to overcome obstacles, connect with people and find my place in a new society.

I enjoy playing piano and composing small melodies in classical and new age styles. When it comes to sport, I swim, train at the gym and run regularly — it keeps both body and mind positive and healthy.
I have been involved in various volunteer projects, including creating free graphic design for non-profit organisations and supporting causes I care about. Since 2023 I have volunteered as a teaching assistant at Salem Nærmiljøsenter and Frivilligsentralen, helping beginners — among them immigrants and refugees — learn basic Norwegian.

A selection of my design projects — branding, web design, UX and more — is available on my Behance profile.
A full visual redesign for a Norwegian seafood company — logo, packaging and brand guidelines with a clean maritime feel.
The work covered the logo, colour and typography system, packaging for the product range, and a set of guidelines so the brand stays consistent from box to website.
Warm, hand-crafted identity for a coffeeshop concept: logo, cups, signage and printed material.
Hand-drawn lettering and a warm palette carried across cups, bags, signage and menus, with printed material prepared for production.
Brand identity for a family-run fish farm on the Norwegian west coast, built around heritage and clarity.
The identity draws on the family history of the farm and the surrounding coastline, applied to packaging, workwear and digital touchpoints.
A scalable packaging system for a private-label grocery range, designed to stay consistent across dozens of products.
A modular grid, colour coding by category and clear typographic hierarchy let dozens of products share one shelf language.
Identity for a glamping resort in a pine forest — logo, pattern and signage inspired by sun and trees.
Sun and pine motifs became a flexible pattern used on signage, printed guides and merchandise across the site.
E-commerce design for a building-supplies wholesaler: catalogue structure, product pages and checkout flow.
Focus on making a large technical catalogue easy to browse: filtering, clear product cards and a short, predictable checkout.
