I'm Caroline.
I care deeply.
I think visually.
I obsess over the small things.
Always have, probably always will.
I’m a graphic designer based in Oslo who works through instinct first, logic second. My process rarely moves in a straight line. It starts in the gut, detours through chaos, and lands in the details that feel right.
I care about how things feel.
Visually. Emotionally. Structurally.
My work spans visual identities, photography,
editorial design, motion graphics, screen-based experiences, conceptual campaigns, packaging,
and visual storytelling — including how the work
is documented, presented, and experienced.
No matter the medium, the goal stays the same:
→ Ideas that feel.
→ Strong and clear concepts.
→ Designs that look really good.

I’ve contributed to projects outside school — designing packaging for Spawday, a Swedish pet care brand; collaborating on editorial design and visual identity for Blaska, a magazine made to spotlight the artists at Kommon Music; and helping shape the visual identity for the film Onkel Jens.
I’m curious, critical, and creatively restless.
I overthink (except when I don’t… or maybe I still do).
Most of what I create comes from
curiosity, drive and stubbornness.
