The Academic Turns Creative
Growing up in an academic and politically active family in the north of Norway and with a love and keen interest for book learning, everyone, including myself, thought I was headed for a long and happy academic career. But having discovered at 19 that following this said academic career staked out for me was actually extremely boring, I made a complete U-turn, decided to activate my creative side, left university and Norway behind and headed for London, where I trained as an actress at The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts. Never had I been happier: finally I could CREATE.
Fashion
In London my interest in fashion and style grew, and I delighted in experimenting with all sorts of crazy styles and using fashion as a way of expressing myself and my creativity. Never did I think this would be so much part of my future professional life.
TV and design
After years of working as an actress in both Norway and abroad I moved into the realm of TV as a TV presenter. Alongside this, with a lifelong interest in visual art and design, I studied graphic design – and threw in a bit of web design for good measure.
Now I find all these elements and professions are so much part of me they are present in every job I do – no matter what it is. They are all linked and they all give me immense pleasure.
