Born in in Norway, I grew up in a sports-loving family of four. Like them, I played sports and danced throughout my childhood. I've always had a talent for the arts, including sketching, painting, and creating with scrap materials, along with dance and music. My parents and teachers encouraged my early passion for expressing myself through colors, light, shapes, and materials.

My interest in architecture began with a discussion with my design and environment tutors at the start of my degree about using nature and natural light in design. The idea of drawing inspiration from the animal kingdom and the natural world sparked my passion for thoughtful design. My studies deepened my understanding of how science, art, and environmental and cultural factors shape architecture. I realized that architects have a social responsibility to create better spaces that can positively impact society. This awareness influenced my approach to design during my Bachelor’s (2019-2022), in my year of practical experience (2022-2023), and now as a Master's graduate in Architecture (2023-2025).
