“At live|work I am able to ask naive questions and get really smart answers.”

Before I joined live|work I was part of a start-up that developed an online music service where you could upload all your music and share it with your friends. I was part of the design team as an interaction designer and took part in the project from its inception. During that time I experienced both the development and the daily running of the service.

At live|work I take part in most of the projects in the Nordic office in one way or another. I am an experienced Flash programmer and hold a Master’s degree in Interaction Design from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. This enables me to contribute to all phases of a project, whether its insights, design work, concept development, evidencing, analysis or pixel pushing.

In my spare time I enjoy going climbing. After having dealt with intangible challenges at work it’s refreshing to tackle some physical ones in the evening.
