Designing for tomorrow in Oslo

About

I'm a designer that wants to be a part of a better world. I like designing things that make a difference to people- not just something that generates money for the few. The more complicated and hard, the better.

We are a team of four students who are working on making an organization under NTNU to spread student innovation to other universities. We aim to make it easy for both universities and students to create student mentoring services for other students that have a great idea or want to build a company. We are supported by Engage NTNU.

2022 — 2022

A summer internship where three designers, including me, helped a company that sold activities deliver a better service. We found key pinpoints both for their customers, and themselves, and suggested new products and tweaks on existing one to give their customers a better experience, and improve the company's revenue streams and quality. Then we suggested a strategy for implementation over a five year period.
