About me

Foto: Oda Berby for Aschehoug

I was born in 1995, and am a Norwegian writer and illustrator.

I did my BA in Illustration Animation at Kingston University outside London, graduating in 2017.

I live and work in Oslo, Norway, but sometimes I get to travel and say hello to readers in other countries!

When I’m not making books, I like to watch movies, cook for my friends, go on really long walks and knit.

How I pronounce my name

My last name can be a bit tricky because of the Norwegian å - I hope this audio helps you! As for Nora - just say it in whatever way it feels natural in your language.
