WORK | I´m excited every time I receive a book directly from the printing company. The book Selbuvotter about mittens from Selbu arrived last week and was launched yesterday in Selbu together with the author Anne Bårdsgård, all the knitters who had contributed, friends and rest of the project group. It has become a great book and has received very good criticism from many parts. See more from the book Selbuvotter.
WORK | One year has passed since the author Anne Bårdsgård an I started the preparations. The book about Selbu mittens is now designed and almost ready to be sent to print. We are working to ensure that the colors, images and thickness of the pattern lines are good before final documents are submitted. The book is expected to arrive in August.

WORK | I worked with Jazzfest from 2005 – 2009; developed the identity and created the marketing material. Now the client is back, and I have worked with this year’s festival newspaper, program, poster and t-shirt. Very nice to work with “old” customers again.

WORK | Nyfiken is a restaurant in Trondheim serving Italian food. The task was to rebrand the identity to give the guests a stronger feeling of a taste of Italy through new logo, color palette and typography. The new logo is hand-drawn and gives a personal and warm expression that welcomes the guests. See more from the Nyfiken identity.
WORK | Together with the author Anne Bårdsgård I am designing a new, large book about Selbu mittens. Anne has worked on the material of this book for three years. She has been keen to find and register as many old pattern as possible. In addition, it has been important to find as much knowledge as possible about knitting mittens to create an overview of procedures. The book will contain history and characteristics of a mitten from Selbu, how to knit together with various patterns. Anne has also made an exhibition related to Selbu mittens.
