Interaction designer

I'm 26 years old and have a degree in interaction design from Kristiania University College. I have a strong foundation in user-centered design, prototyping and usability testing. My work focuses on creating intuitive and functional digital solutions that enhance the user experience.

In addition, I hold a bachelor's degree in social work, a background that has provided me with insights into human behavior and empathy. My interest in interaction design grew from a desire to combine my understanding of human needs with creative solutions that can make a difference in users' everyday lives. For me, design is about more than just aesthetics—though I have a passion for visual design. It's about understanding users on a deeper level and creating solutions that truly add value.

Lastly, when I have some time off, you’ll likely find me at the gym, enjoying a good cup of coffee or tea, or getting lost in a great book.
