Helping people care before asking them to act

I am driven by the belief that good communication does more than inform. It builds connection, inspires trust and invites change. Over the past two decades at GRID-Arendal, I have worked across projects, platforms and disciplines to help translate environmental knowledge into tools people can understand, feel and use.

Whether through video, design, facilitation or strategy, I help teams communicate with purpose. I believe that creativity should serve clarity, and that even the most technical ideas deserve a human voice.

What I Bring

I support teams across GRID-Arendal to shape communication products that are impactful, thoughtful and emotionally resonant. My experience includes creative direction, storytelling, outreach and multimedia production, all grounded in a commitment to collaboration and learning.
I also serve as an internal sounding board and creative partner, helping project managers, facilitators and subject experts strengthen their narratives and engagement strategies.

My Focus Areas

  • Strategic communication and creative direction
  • Visual storytelling and multimedia production
  • Outreach and audience engagement
  • Workshop facilitation and co-creation
  • Creative problem-solving and concept development

    • In My Own Words

    Good communication helps people care before it asks them to act. My job is to help make that care possible through clarity, creativity and connection.
