Experienced graphic designer with over 20 years as a self employed freelancer. Still motivated by making messages clear, visually strong, and relevant to their audience. I work on everything from annual reports and magazines to digital content, and I follow projects all the way from initial idea to final delivery. I enjoy combining structure with creativity, and I value close collaboration with clients throughout the process. For me, it's about finding the right solutions together – and delivering work that truly works in practice. I work daily in InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator, and I've collaborated with both small businesses and large organizations, including Tomra, Forsvarsbygg, Ferd and Power. I'm reliable and structured, but also curious and open to new challenges – and I'm just as comfortable working independently as I am as part of a team.
