I’m a graphic, brand and logo designer with 25+ years of experience crafting visual identities and brand systems that work strategically, systematically, and across every touchpoint. I’m actively seeking opportunities where I can contribute to building strategic design and branding practices that go beyond traditional branding into meaningful brand activation.
What I bring:
I understand how strong brands are shaped over time, and how good design can carry strategy, identity, and communication simultaneously. My approach balances strategy and aesthetics, concept and craft, thinking conceptually while delivering with precision and attention to detail.
I work confidently across platforms, from editorial and print communication to digital and experiential expressions. I develop identities, logos, and brand systems that function across media and surfaces, creating cohesive visual languages that hold up under pressure from concept through execution.
A recent example:
I led the complete brand identity and digital design for Havvind.no, Norway’s national competence center for offshore wind energy. Working with frog design and key stakeholders, I navigated a 10-week strategic process that defined everything from brand positioning and category roles to the full visual identity system and implementation guidelines. The challenge: offshore wind energy is complex, with diverse stakeholders and rapidly evolving information needs. The result: a cohesive strategic identity and website that positions Havvind as the authoritative voice in Norway’s offshore wind industry, demonstrating how branding, visual communication, and design influence each other.
I thrive working cross-disciplinarily. I’ve collaborated closely with strategists, advisors, project managers, and other designers to build holistic brands from idea to activation. I have experience from larger brand and design processes, working with both new challengers who need to establish credibility and established national players who need to evolve.
What I’m looking for:
I’m interested in roles where I can be instrumental in developing design and brand practices within forward-thinking clients. I thrive in environments where strategy, design, and communication meet—where I can help build both competence and direction, and influence how design should look and feel. I’m drawn to opportunities that explore the synergies between strategy, graphic design, and communication, with craftsmanship and long-term thinking at the center.
