As a child I was by myself and lived in a dramatic fantasy world. I locked myself in my room, staged and developed role-playing game where I was the hero in a world of witchcraft and supernatural powers. I drew ghosts and condemned noble families, built the old, abandoned castles ferguson showroom and lost kingdoms. Totally obsessed with secret rooms, destroyed my children's room walls with an electric saw, because I partout should have my own.
I was born in Canada in 1968, and moved to Norway as three of my Norwegian mother and Danish father. As soon as I could escape the Gymnasium dødkedelige itch, 'fled' I to Denmark to study Design at Kolding Design School (Today Danish Design School). After completing the training, I was headhunted for a great job as a designer at Levi's, which first took me to Sweden to Germany and finally to the European headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, where I lived for 8 years.
To build a good professional career, I suppressed my childhood fantasies and dreams, and forced myself to do what I thought was expected of me, and thus I missed my true interests. One day, it no longer. I was not happy and took deform the most difficult but also the best decision of my life thus far. I told my chic and comfortable designer job and began to explore the forgotten ferguson showroom within myself and luckily I found the baby again.
In 2001 I came back to Denmark to live an old dream and passion; to use my creative skills in the work of children. This has resulted in the publication of a series of children's books, decoration projects both here at home and abroad, children porcelain and recently my own TV series on BBC1 for children.
