ABOUT
CV


My name is Daniel! I'm a playful communication designer from Norway using co-design to uncover real needs and create solutions that genuinely improve people's lives and the planet we live on.

I’m driven by a desire to tackle complex issues. That is why, after a decade of freelance work, I'm now doing a Master's in design. My past experience honed my visual skills, and combined with human-centered methods and a playful approach, I contribute across the full process: from research and facilitation to visually strong solutions. I have a big passion for inclusive & universal design, and I’m training to become an expert that creates work that's beautiful, functional, and inclusive for as many as possible.

Who
The alternative pop-band, happydieyoung, where I am also the singer and front person.

What
Visual identity, artwork, packaging, costume design, live visuals and more.

How
Running an independent music project means wearing many hats beyond writing and producing music, for example inter-disciplinary collaboration, applying for funding, designing merchandise, creating content, promoting and performing live. This forced a can-do attitude and developed my competences within world building and storytelling that I bring directly into my design practice.
