I'm Joy, a product designer living in Oslo. Starting out as an architect, I tend to see the whole system before I see the screen. I've always worked at the edge of technology and craft — that's where I find the most interesting problems to solve. Over the past decade I've specialised in turning genuinely complex technology (generative AI, spatial computing, carbon accounting) into products that feel intuitive and human.
Currently I'm a design lead at Skalar in Oslo, where I defined the UX strategy for an AI-powered tool helping SMEs manage and report their carbon emissions. I'm also co-founder and designer at Megalearn, where we're building a browser-based multiplayer educational game powered by generative AI and 3D environments.
Previously, I spent four years as a Senior Product Designer at Kahoot!, designing core features including reports, courses, and gameplay animations for a platform used by over a billion players. Before that I held senior roles at Podio (acquired by Citrix), Brandwatch), and Leo Innovation Lab — covering everything from social media tools to a dermatology platform for patients and oncologists.
