I am Johanna, a strategic designer currently based in Oslo.
I recently completed my MA at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, where my thesis focused on a Strategic design approach to exploring the future of design practices.
I have a background in Strategic, Service, and Interaction Design, where I enjoy exploring their psychological and socio-cultural impact on society.
Over the past two years I've been gathering experience through my internship at Iterate, followed by a one year permission to work as a design consultant for different start-ups at Klein Group while travelling in Asia, and freelancing as a Graphic Designer more recently.
