About

Background

I began my career working with Elmwood. In ’96 I moved to Oslo to join Scandinavian Design Group part of the McCann Worldgroup. As Creative Director I worked equally with the strategic and creative teams on some of the biggest brands in the Nordic region. In 2001 I co-founded Mission Design with Bard Annweiler as part of the Leo Burnett Group with a primary focus on brand identity. I relocated to England in 2006 as Creative Director of Thompson Brand Partners.

Currently

Aim was formed in 2008 to allow me to work more closely with clients and develop ideas together. Izm is a portfolio of personal projects and collaborations with friends. If you think I can add something to a project feel free to get in touch.
