My Journey Here

Hi! i’m Kristin and I come from a little fjord called Beisfjord, up north in Norway. Some people may say living in my little village is boring but, I think a better word for it is peaceful. Very, very peaceful.  It’s where i’ve lived all my life and i’ve become accustomed to a life of serenity here in the fjord. Living here has giving me a lot of time to grow. Time for interests to grow, passions to grow and dreams to grow. 

I’ve always loved expressing myself through an artistic way. Drawing, writing and music has been my main hobbies all through life. The idea of living and doing any of that as a job is something i dreamed could be a possibility. It made me very excited but most of all, extremely inspired. 

In school my music interest blossomed and every art assignment was something i looked forward to. Through my school years I sang solo’s, joined a band and when highschool came around, I took music as my main subject. After high school i took a diploma year and studied music production and songwriting in Sandefjord. Although I loved songwriting and singing, this is when i figured out that music wasn’t the career path I wanted to go. 

I’ve always said that if i had to choose again I would go for studying art earlier in school. But the passion for being creative and drawing was always with me and in the back of my mind. So here i am today ready to finally begin using my passion for art in my degree. 

I’ve chosen to study graphic design because I think it has extremely many options and opportunities especially because of social media. In today’s society it’s all about being relevant and putting yourself out there to gain attention. This can apply for companies, buisnesses, entrepeneurs etc and can be very important for getting your message out there. People need websites, posters, apps, book covers and a lot more. There’s a lot of opportunities and a lot of different exciting projects to be made. That’s what makes graphic design so special. It can be so much more than you think. 

That’s why I’ve chosen to study graphic design and want to work as a graphic designer. In the future I hope to have the opportunity to do just that and work passionately creating designs for others. So I’m very excited and ready to work hard to see where this journey takes me.
