It started with sketchbooks and fineliners.

I wrote poems and freelanced for
a youth magazine.

I attended the Scandinavian Design School
and fell in love with visual communication.

Got work at Historiebladet, where
I worked with text formatting.

Got into DMJX, and was given a space to 
learn about graphic craftsmanship.

An internship opened my eyes
to how you can approach design.

Now I want to explore design. 
While challenging my hand & head.

Shaping the message through typography,
structure, and material.
