Bournemouth, England, United Kingdom
I hold a Master's degree in Digital Effects from NCCA Bournemouth University, UK, and a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from Solent University of Southampton, UK. Currently, I am exploring job opportunities within various industries, including film, television, advertising, and science, as a Graphic Designer or VFX/3D artist. I am also open to temporary assignments and project-based work. As a focused and dedicated VFX and 3D artist, I specialize in using Houdini software. During my Digital Effects program, I gained experience in working across the entire pipeline, from concept to final product, and developed skills in various aspects such as modelling, acquisition, tracking, photogrammetry, texturing, and simulations. In the realm of Graphic Design, I have freelanced in photography, promotional design, and social media marketing. My coursework has equipped me with expertise in typography, colour theory, audience targeting, logo and promotional design, product design, as well as print and web design. Additionally, I have freelance experience in video editing for DNB's London branch and am currently producing a music video for Norwegian singer Jarle Zimmermann from Flying Norwegians. I also manage my own webshop where I sell self-designed graphic art, fashion wear, accessories, and interior pieces.

Linna Art & Designs is my personal Etsy webshop, where I proudly showcase and sell my distinct creations, encompassing graphic art, fashion wear, and interior items that I have meticulously designed. I am deeply committed to curating and presenting my products with an engaging and polished aesthetic. Beyond crafting and selling my designs, I manage the shop's social media accounts and develop captivating advertisements to draw in a wider audience. This entails designing striking visuals and composing compelling captions that effectively convey the spirit of my brand and products. My dedication lies in delivering a seamless and delightful shopping experience for my customers, consistently aiming to surpass their expectations and create lasting impressions.
Currently, I am engaged in producing a music video for the gifted Norwegian composer, Jarle Zimmerman. As a solo endeavour, I am involved in every aspect of the process, from initial concept development to the final production stage. To materialize the music video, I filmed Jarle Zimmerman against a green screen, enabling me to seamlessly integrate him into a CGI environment that boasts a lively street scene adorned with animated street art. The finished product is set to offer a visually striking and immersive experience that harmoniously accentuates the composer's musical prowess. As the sole creator behind this production, I am committed to ensuring that every element is flawlessly executed, from the overarching vision down to the minutest details. This project presents a rewarding challenge, and I eagerly anticipate unveiling the completed music video for the world to enjoy. Other projects I do for Mr Zimmermann are photography, social media management and cover designs.
In March 2023, I was honoured to present my graphic art at the esteemed 56/9 Nyheim Gallery in Bergen, Norway, marking my first official exhibition. The event not only featured my graphic art but also included a curated collection of my fashion wear and interior pieces. Though my primary objective was to gain exposure and forge connections with potential clients, I was thrilled to sell eight artworks and a t-shirt during the exhibition. To ensure the event's success, I invested considerable effort in the preparatory stages. This included designing custom business cards, invitations, and a catalogue that enabled customers to easily place orders for my artwork. The exhibition proved to be an incredible experience, and I am eagerly anticipating future opportunities to showcase my creative work and further develop my professional presence in the art world.
KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes stand as one of the most extensive and distinctive cultural destinations for art, craft, design, and music in the Nordic region. The institution captivates visitors with its exceptional blend of art museums, composers' homes, contemporary art, historical artefacts, concerts, and lush parklands, providing an immersive and enriching experience. As a former team member at KODE, I had the privilege of working at the Edvard Grieg Museum at Troldhaugen and the Harald Sæverud Museum at Siljustøl. My responsibilities included protecting the valuable exhibits on display, hosting concerts, and offering guidance to visitors. I was always eager to answer any questions about the houses or composers, ensuring an informative and enjoyable experience for guests. I actively participated in children's workshops and lectures, engaging them through music and singing. Additionally, I enthusiastically shared my passion for the museums by conducting guided tours on their tour bus, further elevating the visitor experience. My time at KODE was an incredibly fulfilling chapter in my career, allowing me to merge my love for art, music, and education. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and the invaluable knowledge I acquired during my tenure.
