I create interactive experiences for museums and exhibitions. I have been working at the award winning studio Gagarin Interactive since 2015 where my responsibilities cover creating whole exhibition concepts, narratives and interactive installations and guiding them to a solid implementation.
Interaction design is my expertise which I use in the creation of concepts that unravel complex matter into engaging, approachable and fun experiences.
Other than that I love painting, occasionally make illustrations for things, make gifts, do projects with friends or any other type of craft.
These two videos give an insight into the design process I follow with Gagarin.
The first as a conversation with our client and our collaboration towards an exhibition we created. It shines a light on the thoughts behind visualisations, interactions, content composition, etc.
The second is a more recent talk about how our geographical location influences our design practice (from Iceland!) and features many examples and a Q&A afterwards.
Enjoy!
