About
I was born on the 26th of July, 1980 in Akureyri, Iceland.
I’ve been making websites, graphics and publications with varying levels of success since 1995. That translates to half of my life.
I officially started my own design studio in 2001.
I graduated from the Icelandic Academy of Arts in 2005 and again in 2009 from the department of pedagogy.
I believe in simplicity and the principles of minimalism.
My work has been featured in various international books and magazines. See more.
