A little detour
Although my passion for design and illustration sparked at an early age, my aptitude for STEM soon took the lead, steering me toward engineering. Following the encouragement of teachers and peers, I eventually moved to Trondheim to pursue a master’s degree in cybernetic engineering.
Rediscovering Design
Engineering didn’t turn out as I’d expected. It was challenging and uninspiring, and my motivation dwindled over three years. Everything changed, however, when I took an elective class in web technology—where engineering and design intersect. This reignited my love for creativity and made me rethink my career path. That’s when I decided to take an indefinite break from engineering to pursue my dream of becoming a graphic designer.
Leap of faith
My initial plan was to pursue a degree in design, but with no suitable options nearby, I set that idea aside. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before I landed a graphic design role at Reality Adventures, an escape room company in Trondheim. There, I had the chance to design logos, marketing materials, informational videos, and even physical props for the rooms. Over my six years at RA, I was fortunate to help the company grow from a single escape room to Trondheim’s top-rated escape room business, with nearly ten unique escape game experiences.
New challenges
After six years at Reality Adventures, I wanted more challenging design work and the chance to be part of a larger design team.
