Ja takk, hjerne 2024
I made this live experiment to prove how shitty our brains are. It's an experiment I perform live in front of an audience, and it's always a hoot. I toured with this in most of 2024, and the highlight was to do it in front of 1300 people at a sold out Oslo Concert Hall.
Lærepære 2023
My kids are (for now) very eager to learn new things and wants to do assignments for school. So I made this little app for them. It randomizes questions through an algorithm I wrote, creating several million questions. They never get the same question twice, and they both learned to read, write and do math with this app. They keep asking to "play" it, which is great because they literally learn new things every time.
Løje 2023
We want to shield our kids from social media and all the shitty things that the digital life brings. But they get exposed to it outside of the house, so I made my own media site with funny and interesting clips that my kids can scroll though and interact with. It's completely wordless, and all navigation is done with swipes. The kids absolutely love it!
Motbakke.ninja 2023
Me and three buddies decided to see if we could walk/run to Tokyo within one year. To keep track we all used Strava to track our workouts, and then I built this website based on the data from Strava to accumulate data, run analytics and algorithms to keep track of our collective progress. We had weekly winners within different categories and it became a major talking point for our chat groups. Very motivating and fun!
LIFT Assessments 2022
This is a tool made for low resource settings to assess health care providers in their midwifery training. It's just a re-framing of existing technology to leverage that power in a different setting. A super interesting challenge to be part of!
Laerdal Design 2022
I made this recruitment site for Laerdal Medical as we were struggling to get our message out with the established channels. This proved to be very successful, and we hired several designers coming through this funnel.
Unngå 2022
Electricity prices in Norway makes no sense. So I made this app with a whole new way of explaining it. The app is updated with new prices every hour and turned out to be very useful for many people. I realized it in the App Store and people actually bought it! It is still in use today, even though the prices have normalized more now.
Hanseatene 2022
My father-in-law was arranging a family reunion with his extended family and wanted to set up a family tree where everyone could update their own entry with a photo and a few sentences about themselves. I made this little tree for him, and all of them filled it out, making a fantastic historical document of their family, going back six generations!
Sånn er du 2021
This was a behind the scene tool I made for the radio program and podcast Sånn Er Du, hosted by Harald Eia and Nils Brenna. It's a visualization of the personality test Big Five, along with an algorithm that analyzes the results against a database of the hundreds of Norwegian celebrities whom have participated before to look for similarities and differences. And yes, those are my real scores from the test.
Fiffig 2020
Fiffig was a podcast I did with my wife, exploring the width of the internet. We had a couple of thousand listeners, but had to stop when I got a job writing for a TV-show with similar content as the podcast.
Lyse 2020
Lyse was rebuilt on a state-of-the-art API platform that revolutionized their whole digital strategy. A lightning fast website built with clearly defined user needs and thoroughly user tested, it was a complete shift in the Lyse groups approach to the web.
LUX 2020
LUX was the design language of Lyse. It was a completely new approach for the Lyse group, and has the potential to be reused on over a dozen websites. It was thoroughly designed and written in record time.
Innsiktendo 2020
Innsiktendo was created to fill a hole in the measurement model of Lyse and try to break out of pointless statistics and useless systems. Innsiktendo was a physical arcade machine with 8-bit insight into how the Lyse group was doing and the effect of the actions taken.
Pingis 2020
As I was appointed office manager in our new location at Lyse, I bought a ping pong table for the crew. We all meant we were the office champion, so I made this IoT-device that records all scores in all games and give useful insight into how each player is doing and the total score, to know who really is the office champion.
Kjapp 2018
Kjapp is a tool I invented to fill a gap between automatic web measurements and KPIs, with call to actions. This tool analyses data and presents it in an understandable and actionable fashion. The data has always been there, but it has never been more understandable and easily available. The tool works in real time and even has a companion wearable app to help facilitate a data driven culture within the business.
Krisemøte 2018
The official website for one of Norway's most popular podcast. It was a simple setup with the YouTube iFrame API. The podcast is no longer active.
Digital strategy 2016
As Head Of UX at Lyse I have created this plan for action on a co-authored digital strategy for the company. The plan is extensive, and unfortunately classified. The work done here was later implemented in stages and has revolutionized how the Lyse group do digital work.
LED 2016
LED (Lyse Energi Design) was a classified project for the Lyse group. It involved over 50 user interviews and countless prototype cycles. I am not allowed to say much more, other than it became the basis of several strategic decisions made.
Kviss 2015
I love a good quiz and was surprised to see that there are no good quiz-apps out there! So I made one. It's super simple and does exactly what a good quiz app should do: It gives you questions and answers. It has become a tradition to play a few rounds on our road trips and cabin trips. Great fun!
Rundgang 2015
Rundgang is a super simple website with animated gifs. It is made for entertainment purposes for the moments when you feel you have won the internet and there is nothing left for you to do there. Perfect for bathroom breaks and a few minutes of mindless surfing before you go to bed or waiting for the bus. It's a designless site, only focusing on content.
Kongsgata 34 2015
This is basically a long read article spread out over several pages. It's the history of a house in downtown Stavanger that I have inherited. The house is one of the oldest and most well kept house in the city. It is packed with history and when I inherited it in 2014, I decided I should do it justice and write down the stories that have been in the family for generations before they get lost forever. I did some massive research and ended up with a ton of info, displayed on this site. The site became very, very popular with the local population and historians have called it "a very important contribution to the history of Stavanger".
Bob Hund 2015
I've worked for the Swedish indie band Bob Hund since 2008, creating and maintaining their official website and webshop. I'm also their social media advisor.
Solskap 2015
This is an online accounting software that I made after I started renting out my apartment in Oslo. It provides a full overview over expenses and income in a simple and clean manner. Adding new posts is simple and highly customized for mobile, since they are usually added on-the-go.
My portfolio 2015
A super simple website where I keep track of my work. It's far too much, and it's not even everything!
Medvind 2015
The engine behind all my sites, big and small. As I've created far too many sites over the years, I have streamlined the process with this website. All I have to do is type in three variables and click a button. The site will set up the DNS routing, a new database with all the tables needed, a HTML template with all the files and structures needed and cron jobs to back it all up on a daily basis. It's the perfect website-on-a-new-domain-creator.
JINX 2015
I invented this game while serving in the army in 2003 and finally made an app out of it in 2015. The game is simple; trying to say the same word at the same time with someone else. Which is surprisingly hard and a great way to get to know someone. This app let's you play the game over the internet with no time limit.
Rator 2015
This was a brand new mobile reading experience for a news site. It was an invite-only service and the users loved it! The concept was my own invention and it was a cross-over between a regular news site and a webshop. You basically create an on-the-fly "playlist" with articles, instead of going back and forth between a frontpage and lots of articles.
Tjukkas 2015
I've never liked to work out at a studio, so I made this app to make it easier for me to work out on my own. It's basically a personal trainer that creates a custom made workout schedule on the spot. It'll randomly pick exercises for different muscle groups and even do randomly degrees of difficulties for each exercise. There's a countdown timer for those that are time limited. The goal of the app is not to become super fit, but to avoid becoming a fatty (tjukkas in Norwegian).
Tidenes Fest 2015
The invitation to my wedding. A totally custom made site with lot's of cool features. Each invitation is personalized with their own photos, url and text. Each guest can see who of their friends are invited and what they have RSVP-ed on the site.
No Fixed Plan 2015
My travel website. Wherever I go in the world, I take Oscar with me and snap a pic of him. Sights from all over the world are well documented on this site.
Popkorn 2015
This site keeps track of movies that I want to see. It's connected to IMDB and automatically plays trailers from YouTube. It has made movie night into a fun experience and is a great substitute for the ancient video rental shops.
Bob Hund Webshop 2015
I've worked for the Swedish indie band Bob Hund since 2008, creating and maintaining their official website and webshop. I'm also their social media advisor.
NRK Radio 2014
While at NRK we launched a new radio player and did another major redesign after launch because of some legal issues. The new player increased usage significantly.
Omatte 2014
Omatte, Norwegian slang for "can you", is a simple crawler that checks certain websites for changes. It's the perfect solution for sites who do not offer notifications. Omatte will for instance check the availability of the new iPhone6 at your local store and send you an email when they have it back in stock, so you can reserve one. I developed this service when I was moving from Oslo to Stavanger and found a website offering free rental cars (!), but they had no notification system and of course the cars are insanely popular. Omatte found cars perfect for my needs and sent me an email immediately, giving me three perfect rental cars in no time.
Honning 2014
I created this powerful tool for the development process at NRK. The project was a mess when I came in, so I created this simple, yet powerful, tool to keep track of development, user stories, demands, statistic and bugs. It became wildly popular in the team and soon became the go-to-product for basically everything. It communicates with Google Analytics, TFS, Jenkins and Jira. Making it the perfect single tool you need to measure progress and it works for all level of involvement in the team, even out to stakeholders and up to the product owner.
NRK TV 2014
Worked as the interaction designer for NRK, the Norwegian equivalent to the BBC. Had design responsibility for their TV, radio and child-friendly-TV responsive sites and apps.
NRK Super TV 2014
Launched a child friendly TV universe called NRK Super TV. Basically a skin on top of the regular player, but the design is based on childrens patters while using a tablet.
Loppis 2014
A popular website with the full overview of all flea markets and other fairs in Oslo, Norway. The content was crowd sourced and taken from Instagram-hashtags.
Halvtime 2014
Halvtime means 'half an hour' in Norwegian and this is a podcast I did with a good friend of mine. The series was abruptly put on hold when my friend moved out of town and we didn't want to continue over the phone.
Tone og Ola 2014
A travel blog from 2014 when I went from farm to farm in Asia trying to learn about organic farming together with my fiance.
Jabbetuss 2014
My wife talks in her sleep, but refuses to admit it. So I downloaded the Sleep Talker app and recorded her. It turned out to be very funny and I made this blog with audio clips and quotes from the random things she says while sleeping.
Hauglandia 2014
A simple site that collects good recipes that are worth keeping. Having recipes spread out over two families made us want this blog to always have access to the good stuff.
Appism 2014
An invite only service to create iPhone web apps for sites that do not have an icon, and for opening web apps in Chrome, not Safari.
biib 2014
As a true testament to my need for organising, I've created this website to keep track of the tv shows I follow and which episodes I have missed.
Pøllen 2013
My dad is the funniest man alive, so I decided to document the things he says in this blog of quotes. It's a tribute to the greatest parents on Earth and has gotten quite the following in Norway.
Julekalenderen 2013
My Christmas card to my friends every year is this advent calendar. It's become quite popular, with 40 contestants coming back every year for the past 8 years now. It's an interactive quiz/game show where you have to solve puzzles, answers dumb questions, draw drawings and take photos. It's very fun and whoever get's the most points by Christmas Eve wins the honourable title "Santa Of The Year". And everyone gets a personal Christmas video at the end.
idioten 2013
A personal blog with all kinds of oddities from the web. I've run it for a very loyal following since 2005 and didn't stop until I hit 30 000 posts.
Uketall 2012
Working for Statoil I was constantly asked about week numbers, a concept I do not adhere to. But there was no way around it at this company, so I created this simple calender to tell me which week this is. The site spread amongst the employees at Statoil and was widely appreciated. Uketall means week number in Norwegian.
Idioto 2012
A before-its-time url shortener made to order for the Swedish indie band Bob Hund, who are notorious for their idiocy. The product remains on an invite only basis.
Mixteip 2012
A new take on the old fashioned mixtape. It's an HTML5 audio player masked as a cassette and updated with a new mixtape every month. No tracklist. Just good music.
Jon Hansson 2012
This was a gift to one of my best friends for his 30th birthday. The website contains slightly odd photos of him and they move around as you move your cursor/phone while the background is changing color. The perfect web app for the whole family!
Statoil - TDI 2012
Working for this major oil company I got the chance to grow into an important role of this project, dubbed "revolutionary" by it's CEO. I started out as a developer and ended up with concept and process management, design, writing user stories and being a scrum master.
Ping.is 2011
Back in 2011 I played a lot of table tennis with a good friend. We created a "league" of our own and I made this app to keep track of it. It was a highly customized and personal app that did just what we needed. I got to work on my sql-skills and extract interesting facts out of the data from our games. The app worked as a live scoreboard as we played, as well as a highly advanced statistics engine for bragging afterwards.
iStrat 2011
I created this chronostratigraphy tool for Noreco, an oil company based in Stavanger. It's an extremely simple, and as it turns out very useful, app for navigation through the different stratigraphic units, depositional environments and tectonic events in most of the Norwegian basins. The content of the app is highly specialised and usage showed it was a great success within its field. Which led to Noreco wanting more apps. I also created an internal app for them, with a simple goal; find a name for their new intranet. That app got even more popular, but it is classified since it was just for internal use, so I can't display it here.
idiot records 2011
The website and webshop of my own record label. Released a vinyl single in 2009 that sold out in a few hours.
Ida og Ola 2011
A blog and travel route from Cuba, where I rode a bike across the island together with a friend. It was made for close friends so they could follow our progress and see some photos every now and again.
One Million Giraffes 2010
By far the most viewed design I've ever made. An art project that went viral in 2009/2010. A simple goal; crowd source one million hand made giraffes to win a case of beer. It took 440 days, but I won.
TrashPop 2008
A concert series run by me and some friends of mine. The site promoted our program, which was about two shows a month. Always good. Always five punds. Always sold out.
KRSlive 2008
An event calendar for the city of Kristiansand, run by me and two friends. The content was also available on print, freely distributed around town. It was the first service in the city to offer a web app version of the website for the (then newly released) iPhone.
