About
(Oslo, NO)
Designer, art director and maker of calm things.
I grew up between Budapest and Bergen, studied graphic design in Oslo and spent seven years in studios before going independent in 2019.
Today I work with a handful of founders each year on the things that shape how a company is seen: the identity, the product and the website. I like projects where design is a decision, not decoration, and where the people on the other side want to get it exactly right.
Outside client work I teach a short course on type at the Oslo School of Design, shoot medium-format film and spend too much time looking at old Scandinavian furniture.

How I work
(03 steps)
Small team, short loops, no surprises.
01
Week 1–2
Listen
Interviews, audits and a lot of questions. We agree on the one problem worth solving and how we'll know it's solved.
02
Week 3–8
Shape
Directions, then one direction. Weekly reviews in a shared file, with real content from the first day.
03
Week 9–12
Ship
Production files, a Framer build or a handover to your engineers, plus a month of support after launch.
