I believe storytelling plays an important role in society, helping us understand the complexity of our world. My expertise lies in visual storytelling by means of art, animation, illustration and graphic design.
At GRID-Arendal, I collaborate with various partners to visually and artfully bring their stories to life. I am also developing the visual identity of GRID-Arendal as an organisation by exploring artistic, innovative and meaningful methods of visual communication. Previously, I have worked as an animator, storyboard artist, and illustrator in the animation, game, comic book, and film industries. My personal projects often involve cross-disciplinary storytelling, blending different art forms to explore new mediums of narratives
