Norwegian Web designer and developer
I am a Norwegian web designer and programmer based in Barcelona. I make unique websites for small and medium businesses at affordable rates.
I focus on unique website designs that efficiently communicate your company’s values and services. I strive for minimal designs with a unique touch, that makes you stand out from the crowd. With a background in design and extensive experience in user experience, I make sure our sites follow high standards of logic and usability.
Understanding digital design as the careful curation of content, I design to cultivate calm – so only the content can drive you to distraction.
Since I am a small unit, I am able to devote my full attention to one project at a time, without distractions and making sure the communication with the client is optimal. So if you have just started a new business or you have an existing site that needs a makeover, feel free to get in touch. Your website might be your company’s most important asset, let me help you make it the best it can be.

VIKC Website
The Public Service Language Center, VIKC, was established in 1993 as one of the first foreign language training centers in Lithuania after the liberation from the Soviet Union in 1991. It was initially started as a public language center but has since been privatized and now provide quality European and world language teaching services, to high ranking officials as well as civilians. It is an educational institution that nurtures creativity and initiative of educators and clients of the center, has won international recognition and successfully runs national and international language projects.
VIKC needed a complete rebranding and re-make of their website, which had not been updated for many years. There was also a wish for a ‘look and feel’ that can appeal to a younger audience, which constitutes an increasing number of VIKC’s clients. I built the website on WordPress, so that they can manage most of the content themselves.

Paperclip Website
Paperclip is a music management company based in Bergen, Norway. Since their launch in 2017, the company has won several newcomer awards and is rapidly making their way in the Norwegian music business. They currently manage profiled artists such as Gundelach, Satin Jackets, Moullinex and Sonny Alven.
I worked with them in 2018, when they needed a new digital identity and website to showcase their artists and services.
I developed an identity based on a charcoal colored background to highlight their artist photos, which are of outstanding quality.
The stark white-on-black typography is the same used in their logo and works to further strengthen the identity.
The website was developed on Wordpress, making it easy for the client to manage their own content.

Mestres Wåge Architects Website
Founded by Maria Mestres and Magnus Wåge in 2005, Mestres Wåge Arquitectes is a Barcelona based architecture practice with offices both in Barcelona and Oslo.
For their new website, I based the design on the use of strong structural gridlines, as a reference to the structure of buildings. The design is clean and subtle, as to leave the content at the center stage.
