Download pdf resume (in Norwegian)


I hold a masters degree in computer science with emphasis on human-computer interaction, design and system development methodology. I'm passionate about usability and great user experiences.

Early on, social issues related to the use of technology engaged me, and I chose to write my master's thesis within the theme of universal design.

Over the last 4 years, I've had an unique opportunity to focus on techniques for user participation, perspectives in universal design and ICT for the disabled. In addition, I've gained experience with research design, quantitative and qualitative methods, grant applications and project management.

Other skills: Audio description, DAISY, web accessibility. 1-year course in Arts and Crafts from Oslo University College.

I'm currently employed at Gjøvik University College.

Previously:

Researcher at MediaLT AS (November 2007 - May 2012)
.Net/design consultant at Avenir AS (May-November 2007).
