I get bored really fast.

It’s what pushes me to explore new technologies and creative approaches, always looking for something that surprises or entertains. This restlessness means I’ve picked up skills across a wide range of areas, from interactive installations to oil painting. But while I move quickly and dive into many different things, I never let that impact the quality of my work. For me, the challenge is to keep things engaging without cutting corners, ensuring that every project is both exciting and meticulously crafted.

Because when the designer has fun, so does the user.

Expertise

Generative AI

I’ve spent a lot of time working with generative AI, particularly image and video models like Stable Diffusion. Beyond just using these tools, I’ve built interactive installations around them, exploring how AI can create new kinds of artistic and engaging experiences. Whether it’s crafting generative art or exploring how machine learning can enhance interactivity, I’m always looking to push the boundaries of what these models can do.

Interactive installations

This is what I do best. I’ve worked on all aspects of interactive installations, from the initial idea to the final execution. I can even take care of everything myself if needed—just give me a wall or a screen, and I’ll create something interactive for your event. I enjoy making spaces where people can connect with the art on a more personal level.

Creative direction

I’ve been in charge of some big productions where I was responsible for tying together different creative elements—like graphics, sound, motion, and interaction—into one cohesive project. I enjoy finding ways to bring everything together into an experience that feels complete and is emotionally engaging from start to finish.

Public speaking

I’ve done a fair bit of public speaking, both in terms of giving inspiring talks and more technical, informational ones. I think a lot about design and have some strong opinions on the subject, which I enjoy sharing. I was even nominated for Speaker of the Year by ANFO, which was a nice recognition of that. For me, it’s about sparking a conversation and getting people to think about things differently.

Concept development

For the last ten years, I’ve been developing concepts for major Norwegian brands, always trying to come up with something new that people haven’t seen before. My work covers a wide range, from coming up with fresh ideas for brands to concept art and even character design. I like the challenge of creating something unique and memorable, whether it’s for a commercial project or an artistic one.

3D and 2D motion graphics

With a background in one of Norway’s top motion design studios, I’m well-versed in both 3D visualization and 2D motion graphics. From abstract patterns to detailed 3D sculpting, I aim for work that’s impactful and visually compelling.

Game design

From full-fledged games to experimental prototypes, I’ve worked across many stages of game design. My design for the game TERROR SQUID won first prize at the 2019 Norwegian Gameplay Championships, and later received a commercial release. Designing games is a natural extension of my broader creative work, combining interaction, visuals, and narrative in a playful, often surprising way.

Procedural art

Procedural art is one of my more unique specialties. Using code and algorithms, I can generate complex visual patterns that would be impossible to achieve by hand. This approach not only creates a vast number of permutations but also opens up a whole new realm of visual possibilities. Some of Norway's largest brands have already integrated my procedural designs into their marketing.

TouchDesigner

TouchDesigner is my tool of choice for creating real-time visuals and interactive installations. It’s a visual programming platform that allows me to build things from scratch without needing to bring in a separate developer. Being good at TouchDesigner lets me take on complex projects and see them through from start to finish by myself, which is a big advantage. I also give introductory courses to the software.

Physical media

Despite all the digital work I do, I haven't forgotten my analogue roots. I spend just as much time with a paint brush as I do at the computer. Sometimes I blend my physical art skills with digital media to create something new that bridges both worlds. I like mixing traditional art with modern technology to see what happens.
