Who am I?

  • Designer

    I am a trained fashion designer with a BFA with distinction from the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. I have been working as a professional designer since 2006, and I have designed for Bergans, Disney, Kygo, XXL, H2O, Umbro, Nordica, Skogstad, Aylar Lie, Anne Brith Davidsen, and many, many more. I have had fashion shows in San Francisco, Bergen, and at Oslo Fashion Week, and I have designed thousands of garments for Norwegian stores.

  • Managing Director

    As a managing director, I have held leadership positions in three diverse industries: a design agency, an advertising agency, and a skincare company. I have extensive experience in running businesses and I intimately understand the pressures that come with concerns about finances, declining customer numbers, and the anxiety that keeps you up at night searching for solutions. I've been through those challenging moments, and they have shaped me into the professional I am today.

  • Mentor

    Over the years, many have called me their mentor, and I love helping others succeed. It brings me great joy to witness their growth and achievements. As a mentor, your success is my ultimate goal, and I am committed to offering my expertise and experience to propel you forward. With my guidance, you will gain valuable insights, practical advice, and a strong support system. Together, we will navigate challenges, uncover hidden opportunities, and unlock your full potential. Let me be your trusted mentor, empowering you to surpass your goals and fulfill your dreams.

  • Online sales and marketing

    I launched my first Shopify store back in 2015. Since then, I have expanded my entrepreneurial endeavors and and built multiple successful online stores. This experience has been a remarkable learning opportunity, allowing me to delve into the intricacies of online sales, Google SEO strategies, social media marketing, YouTube promotion, and the fantastic opportunities with print-on-demand services.

  • Single mother

    I am a divorced single mother of three boys. I know the challenges of having never-ending to-do lists and too little time to accomplish them. Raising three boys has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the importance of structure and clear communication. As a fashion designer, these skills translate seamlessly into my work, allowing me to efficiently organize and manage projects, timelines, and collaborations. The ability to establish a clear vision and effectively convey ideas ensures that my designs reflect the intended message and resonate with the intended audience. With the invaluable lessons learned from parenthood, I bring a heightened sense of organization and communication to every aspect of my work as a fashion designer.

  • Entrepreneur

    As an entrepreneur, I have not only successfully launched multiple companies but also had the privilege of supporting others in their entrepreneurial endeavors. My passion for creation knows no bounds, and I possess an unwavering determination to overcome obstacles and never back down in the face of challenges. Through my own experiences and those I have helped, I have gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of starting, scaling, and sustaining businesses. I am well-versed in identifying opportunities, developing effective strategies, and navigating the ever-changing landscape of entrepreneurship.
