Born and bred in Bømlo, Norway. I studied at NKH for two years where I successfully gained my diploma in Graphic Design. Following this I took the opportunity to move to Southampton where I have completed a first class honours degree (BA) in Graphic Design at Solent University.

During my time in Solent University I won an pencil at the D&AD New Blood. That was fun.

After completing my studies, I began my career at a small local design studio called Sydvest, which later became Byrået Sydvest. After three enriching years there, I took a bold step and moved to Oslo where i started working at TRY Reklamebyrå, one of the leading advertising agencies in the country.

I currently work full-time at TRY Reklamebyrå, where I’ve had the privilege of earning multiple prestigious awards, including honors from Cresta, Epica, Sølvfisken, D&AD, Eurobest, Gullblyanten, and perhaps the most notable of all, gold at the Cannes Lions Awards.

Why the name Ublu?
Translated from Norwegian: shameless; cheeky; bold
I want my design to be just that, cheeky.
