I lead the editorial marketing team at the National Theatre of Norway, responsible for developing and executing content strategy across digital and editorial channels. My role is to ensure that our communication is cohesive, audience-focused, and directly supports ticket sales, brand building, and audience growth.

I manage and develop a multidisciplinary team of specialists in content production, design, publishing, and PR, with a focus on building strong processes, clear direction, and a collaborative culture. I’m particularly invested in creating an environment where people take ownership, develop their craft, and contribute to shared goals.

Brought in to build and lead Sony Music Norway’s first in-house creative team, establishing the department from scratch, defining its vision, and shaping a culture rooted in collaboration, experimentation, and creative excellence. The role blends strategic direction with hands-on creative leadership, balancing big-picture thinking with deep craft across design, campaigns, content, and brand development.

I turn ideas into visual worlds: art directing shoots, campaigns, and brand systems that connect emotionally with audiences. Projects range from full artist rebrands and visual identities to large-scale campaign rollouts, music videos, and digital storytelling. I’m passionate about building creative teams that thrive, mentoring designers, spotting talent, and creating an environment where people do their best work.

Beyond music, this work has strengthened my ability to build audience-driven brands that resonate across platforms and industries, grounded in understanding culture, emotion, and timing, and translating insight into visual communication that connects.

Worked in Apple’s in-house creative team in both New York and Los Angeles, shaping visual campaigns and platform content for iTunes, Apple Music, iBooks, and Podcasts. I art directed marketing initiatives across channels, from Times Square billboards for the Kygo documentary to global Podcast campaigns and a K-Pop rollout that spanned screens and shopping centers across Asia. I also contributed to editorial features, including an Apple Music piece published in Vogue.

The role blended strategy, art direction, and design across cultures and platforms, building visually distinct worlds while staying true to Apple’s precision-driven brand language. I collaborated closely with artist teams, producers, and internal stakeholders, developing creative solutions that strengthened Apple Music’s global presence.

This experience taught me how to craft audience-driven visual systems that scale, balancing detail, simplicity, and creative freedom to create work that resonates worldwide.

Worked primarily on the IBM account, transforming complex technology into clear, human stories. I art directed and designed content across platforms, from OOH and print to social, digital campaigns and video, with a strong focus on live screens and dynamic visual experiences.

I led digital and integrated campaigns in collaboration with global creative teams across Ogilvy’s network, art directed cross-platform content, and helped evolve IBM’s visual storytelling so advanced technology felt accessible, relevant, and easy to grasp.

The role taught me how to simplify complexity without losing depth, sharpening my ability to turn abstract ideas into visual narratives that resonate across audiences and platforms.

Worked on a six-month contract, primarily on the Google account, creating digital design for websites and ads and developing video concepts and executions for a Google event. I collaborated on clients including Google, Philips, and Nike, contributing to creative concepts, pitches, and deliverables across multiple briefs.

The role taught me how to work fast, solve problems under pressure, and adapt creatively across formats, sharpening my ability to deliver clear, effective ideas in a high-velocity environment.
