- Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? (age, where you're from, hobbies besides designing, any fun facts about you that you want to share)

I'm 18 years old and from Norway. Besides designing, I spend a lot of time training. I compete in Taekwondo and am on the national team so that means I train 5-6 days a week. I'm also still in school, so that also takes up a lot of time! I have a wonderful and super cute ginger cat and I'm a big fan of EXO!

- Why/How did you start designing for VP?

I started around the time right after I joined so like 3rd quarter of 2016? I saw people designing and really wanted to try it myself! I played GSM but didn't really try designing there so I saw this as my chance to try again hahaha. I had already been doing a little bit of digital art for a while so I just opened my program (sai) and started!

- How long have you been designing for VP and when did you become a badged designer?

Since the 3rd quarter of 2016, but my first set in game was a part of the 2016 Christmas calendar! I became a badged designer 17th of April 2018.

- How long do you approximately spend on designing one set?

That varies a lot depending on how motivated I am and how clear my vision for the set is. Sometimes I need like 2 weeks to finish it, while at other times I can make a whole set in one evening.

- How long do you spend on designing on a weekly/monthly basis?

On a monthly basis, it's probably around 10-15 hours per month? It really varies from month to month, but I usually do 1-3 sets per month, and each set is probably around 6.5 hours on average.

- Do you have a set that means something special to you or that had a special story behind it when you created it? Can you tell us why / what that story is?

Hahaha... This probably sounds a bit lame but... Maybe this set?

It's based on one of my favourite EXO performances so I had a looot of fun making it and felt really happy with the result!

Other than that, my sets don't really have a deep meaning or story behind them.

- Where do you get your inspiration?

Kpop! Specifically, EXO for my male sets and my female sets are inspired by a looot of different female artists. Sometimes I just get completely random ideas tho.

- Show us your first design and your latest design!

- What program do you use for designing? And do you use a mouse or a drawing tablet?

I use paint tool sai and a drawing tablet. For a few items I use photoshop for its effects.
