About me
I’m a brand, design and communications advisor working with placemaking, place identity and strategic communications at Natural State in Oslo. I’m previously the editor in chief of A New Type of Imprint, a magazine on Norwegian design and creativity, with global distribution. It was awarded Best Design Media by A Design Award and Årets Tidsskrift in 2018.
From 2018 to 2020, I worked as a freelance creative consultant in New York working mostly with clients in arts, design and culture. I moved back to Oslo when the pandemic hit in March 2020 and was eager to enter the world of urban development and placemaking. In August 2020, I joined Natural State where I now develop place identities and communication strategies for clients such as Bane NOR Eiendom, Solon, KLP, Rodeo Arkitekter and many more.
