This is me
I am Cecilia, an early bird that is making a puzzle everyday to manage being creative, work the fulltime job, being a mom and have a bit of a social life.
Together with some coffee, I tend to be in my best creative mood in the hours between 4am-7am.

Together with some coffee, I tend to be in my best creative mood in the hours between 4am-7am.
I am a Swedish creative woman, that decided as a young adult, to move to a new country, as far away as Norway, just to try something new.
I am now living happily outside of Oslo, Norway, where I recently moved in too an old house that has its origins from 1917 and had no upgrading since the early 70’s. It needs a lot of creative love and that fits my creative soul perfect!
After 13 years living here, working as a manager for most of these years, I was ready to figure out what to do when I grow up.
So, Spring 2021, 34 years old, singel mom, with a fulltime job, I decided to apply for Noroff – Graphic Design parttime study. I did not think it would happen, but it did. Not really knowing what I was doing, I jumped in to this new world, the beginning of the future.
I have now done this for 4 years, with a lot of coffee, early mornings, many hours in front of the computer, and I am finally here, as a new born Junior designer.
It has been a challange, the biggest puzzle I have ever done, but I managed it, and if I could do that, I can do anything. I have been evolving my skills, learning about different themes in the world of graphic design and I will continue with that.
I am still figuring out who I am and will be as a designer but I do know, I am on the right path as a creative person.
