We are very pleased to have won Norways most coveted design award, Award for Design Excellence ( Merket for god design ) for 2013, with the project OFV Kjøretøydata. Only two jobs in our category, Interactive design, was awarded this year. The design was made in co-operation with Magnus Cederholm.

More about the project
I am a digital creator and concept developer. I help brands, companies and individuals to set shape their ideas, adapt them to the technology, and to set them to life. I work closely with clients to create digital solutions and services that enhances and builds on the brand by utilizing my long experience and my extensive network. I do both conceptual work and actual development. Browse my blog/portfolio to see details of which projects and type of work I have done.
I have worked with, and are currently working with, many of Norways best known brands including Volkswagen, Norsk Tipping, Visitnorway, Imsdal, Kraft Foods, OFV, NRK, Nordea, DNB, Lilleborg, Tine, Telenor and Koenigsegg.
Thus far in my career I have worked as a designer, web & flash developer, and lately as a digital concept developer. I hold a Masters degree in Information Technology and a Bachelor in Graphical design: Before I went freelance I worked for Apt.
I worked with Mobiento and Finn.no to create a mobile ad campaign in the form of a game. The brief was simple; Make people engage with the brand as much and as long as possible, and create a positive connection with the brand Jif. The campaign was a big success and generated a lot of traffic for the client along with a huge number of registered users. Mobiento handled the strategy and concept, Bespoke did the design, and I did the wiring, turned the necessary nobs and switches, tightened the screws, taped over the odd hole, hammered it straight and made it play.
The competition is now history, but the site is still up
Commisioned by Drueklasen, we set out in October with keen spirits and a lot of energy, and started building the new website for Olivia. As it so happened the site launch was delayed, but we are all happy that it is finally launched. The site focuses on the two main objectives hungry customers are after, namely looking at the menu and booking a table. It should be just as easy to check out the menu and book a table on the mobile as on the ol' desktop machine.
The site is designed by Mr. Edmond Yang and developed by me.

Partnership for Change's new video site is built on the 23video video-centric CMS recently released in Norway. Partnering up with 23company I help some of their clients launch their own video sites, and first out was Partnership for Change. The work consisted in setting up the site, adding some custom javascript and making the site responsive. Design is by Soli Daud over at Hippie Media

Playing around with css3 and css transform and transitions, I made a demo-effect for a recent project. In the end we didn't use the effect, so I thought I'd make a personal twist to it, by rebuilding the demo with my own photos from some of my more recent travels. Created for Chrome, but seems to work in Safari and Firefox too.

I normally don't add small projects like this to my site, but I thought I'd make an exception for this one, since its a great break from the norm. Websites don't have to be supercomplex and take months to create, allthough they sometimes do, they can be done in, well, a day. All design and development was done in a day, and lo and behold, it even got the clients approval the same day. The site is responsive, as sites should be.
The site resides about here
Rå sport is a niche sports store focusing on mountain, backcountry, windsurf and bikes. Working with Unfold, we created a new website and webshop for Rå sport. Unfold had the design and concept, and I mainly helped out with frontend programming ( html, css and javascript ) together with Unfold.

Created together with Magnus Cederholm, on commision from Kitchen, the site features a members club and a store finder, and is optimized for mobile devices and tabs/pads, as a supplement for their flash-driven site. The site is yet to be launched.

So.. What have I been up to the last year or so. I have been busy doing idea, concept, design and development for this project. The site is a closed site for the automotive industry in Norway, where importers and resellers can create their own profiles, search amongst all new cars imported to Norway each year, create comparisons, get notifications of new/changed vehicles and create their own vehicles.
It only took us about a year, but happily, I'm very pleased with the result. The concept and idea was created for Popkorn by Kai Arne Aspeli and myself on behalf of the client, OFV. The functionality and all the development was done by Kim Sørensen at Popkorn, and myself. Design was initially done by me, but Magnus Cederholm took over the design late last fall, changed much of it, and reskinned the rest, and of course made it a lot nicer!
The webiste is based solely on stateless webservices, and all communication is done via ajax/JSON. Since the webservices is stateless and don't save anything about the current user, we needed to build a javascript system to keep the state, the user info, to save session data for quick lookup and to save on the number of server calls. This was done through an MVC-like system based on backbone and jquery. The HTML templating system was created based on jqote.
The site is now launched as beta, and is due for proper release this fall.
