Retromessa is one of the largest retro gaming and nostalgia conventions in the Nordic region, attracting thousands of visitors annually. The event celebrates the history of gaming, classic computing, technology, and popular culture from the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, offering interactive exhibitions, playable retro consoles and arcade machines, industry guests, cosplay, competitions, and educational presentations.

What If - Norway

2022 - 2023: Video Producer, Director & Manager for the team of What If Norway

"Hva Skjer Hvis" (also known as "What If - Norway") represents the Norwegian adaptation of the immensely popular series "What If," created by Underknown. This Webby Award-winning science documentary web series embarks on a captivating exploration of hypothetical realms and boundless possibilities. The adaptation features the compelling narration of Trond Heien and the creative writing prowess of Martine Flagstad.
 

In collaboration with my dedicated team, I had the privilege of directing and producing 24 compelling episodes, and personally lent my voice to two of them. Leveraging advanced video editing software like After Effects and Premiere Pro, each episode was meticulously tailored to seamlessly align with the established essence of the original "What If" series.

The Gathering: Escape

2021: The Gathering: Escape - Graphic Designer, Animator & Video Editor

During the year 2021, I had the privilege of being a valuable member of The Gathering's esteemed graphics and video crew. My primary role encompassed crafting attention-grabbing visuals for the main shows throughout the event, as well as creating a special send-off attention grabber for the concluding show. Additionally, I was entrusted with the responsibility of producing captivating promotional videos for the event, and designing graphics tailored for streams, Twitch, and tournaments.

Collaborating seamlessly with my talented crew, we collectively conceptualized and developed the event's new logo, drawing inspiration from its theme to create a distinct and visually compelling identity. My contributions to The Gathering's graphics and video team allowed me to showcase my creativity, technical prowess, and dedication to delivering exceptional visual experiences.
