HELLO, MY NAME IS IVAR.   (sounds like EE-var)  

My transition from journalist to designer reflects an evolution of my creative abilities, driven by a versatile skill set that includes listening to people, solving problems, and storytelling. 

Studying interaction design at Carnegie Mellon University during the pandemic emphasized the value of simplifying complexity through meaningful experiences.  

My work experience as a designer began at Apple where I consulted on a redesign project that deepened my understanding of W3C accessibility guidelines. Previously, I worked in the news industry for over a decade as a photo editor and multimedia producer in New York.
