Industrial designer in NYC

About Me

Inspiration drives creativity. All the things I see and experience find their way into my work as a product designer. Travel is primary source of inspiration for me. My curiosity about different countries and cultures motivated me to leave home in Norway to study in LA. I have since traveled widely, and lived and worked in Holland, Hong Kong and NYC, giving me unique insights into design throughout the world.
