About

Social media has amplified division and conflict. I want to build digital spaces where people understand each other instead. I like going somewhere new, whether it’s a place, an idea or a way of doing things, and I think innovation should move people forward, not just profits.

I grew up in Norway, learning mostly by doing, and by getting things wrong first. I still work that way.

At nineteen I joined the Norwegian Coast Guard, serving eighteen months as an artillerist aboard KV Nordkapp, patrolling the Barents Sea and the waters around Svalbard.

At BI Norwegian Business School I studied business administration, then moved on to a bachelor’s in digital communication and marketing, with a focus on artificial intelligence. After that I worked as a digital consultant at Geelmuyden Kiese, one of Scandinavia’s largest communications consultancies, building and running campaigns for major Nordic and international clients.

In 2025 I moved to Tokyo to join Keio University’s Graduate School of Media Design and its Invisible Future Lab. Here I work across design, code and research: my thesis project Rhizome rethinks social media without the algorithmic feed, and TAIKA, a bio-based fire-retardant coating I developed with two fellow students, won silver at the Biodesign Challenge Summit in New York and was national runner-up for the James Dyson Award.

The rest is easier to show than to tell. Try what I’m building, or get in touch.
