Kolibri helps companies materialise their vision with value-driven product teams. At Kolibri I took part in product development in multiple interdisciplinary teams consisting of developers, designers and team coaches using methodologies like Agile development and design thinking.
Takumi is an influencer marketing platform connecting Instagram users and advertisers.

Projects
Yuzu needed a website for their debut restaurant. Working in close collaboration with designer Júlía Runólfsdóttir I built a website focused on delivering information to the user. Content coming from Prismic CMS allows the chef and owners to easily update the copy and menu on their evolving restaurant.
Blær is an independent publication on the web with 13 issues to date – and counting. As the only developer I worked closely with the core team and designer to select the tech stack and build out the first version. From there on we iterated on the product with new features and layouts and onboarded new journalists and photographers to the CMS. Blær has received multiple awards from FÍT and the Icelandic Web Awards.
After trying the Icelandic made vegan sausages for the first time and wanting to buy some more I noticed that they didn’t list sellers anywhere on the web. I contacted their founder and together we designed their new responsive website that I implemented using Wordpress. The seller’s list is up to date to this day.
