A little about me

Tech, design, and people

I studied engineering and design, accidentally fell into AI, built products, and have always loved telling stories.

My work has taken me from wildlife monitoring to media provenance and news production. Usually, it comes down to figuring things out with a team and making something people can use.

I’m English and Norwegian, speak Norwegian fluently, and am now in Cambridge, Massachusetts, studying at Harvard Business School.
