How I work

  1. 01

    Motion and 3D

    Making stuff wiggle, bounce and occasionally explode, in After Effects, DaVinci Resolve and Blender. Cows included at no extra charge.

  2. 02

    UX and web design

    User flows, wireframes and prototypes in Figma. These days the robots do a fair bit of the heavy lifting, and I take the credit.

  3. 03

    AI-native workflow

    Claude Code and friends do the architecture, coding, testing and debugging. I do the pointing, the nodding and the occasional "no, not like that".

Curriculum vitae

Where I've been.

  1. Mar 2015 — now

    GIF & meme maker, motion & AI-native developer

    Peil · Ålesund

    Ten-plus years of making things move: motion, animation, explainer films and the odd GIF that got wildly out of hand. Along the way: UX, design systems and websites in Sanity and Webflow, these days built AI-native with Claude Code riding shotgun, from first sketch to launch. Blah, blah, blah.

  2. 2007 — 2014

    3D modeller and animator

    Viseno (now RoomSketcher), Fuglefjellet, Sanders Studios

    3D modelling, animation and visualisation — including furniture and interiors for RoomSketcher's product library, and quality assurance of models from external suppliers. Norway and Falmouth, UK.

  3. 2006 — 2007
