Visual Design & Branding
Vector Design
Visual design and communication is at the very heart of what I do and I have both a solid theoretical knowledge and a lot of experience working with visuals in various forms. I have been teaching many university level courses focused on working with the image, both concerning the basic building blocks such as color, light and composition and more specialized areas such as 3D-graphics, creation of visual interfaces and visual coding. I have also worked as a freelancer in the creation of logotypes and posters, and currently I am creating all of the visual materials, such as logotypes, icons, banners and invoice templates, for my various creative projects.
Video Editing
My background in video editing is multifaceted: I have been both a teacher and creator of videos and am fascinated with the power of storytelling that comes when movement and sound is added into the mix. For 3+ years I was in charge of a university course that had a focus on video editing, cinematography and storytelling through moving images, but I have been fascinated by video creation all my life and started creating short, experimental videos on MovieMaker already when I was around 10 years old. Today, I mainly enjoy experimenting with creating videos in connection with my creative projects, and mostly share my videos through instagram reels and tiktok.
Preferred software: DaVinci Resolve, Splice (mobile)
Also proficient in: Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro
