Hi I’m Rommel 
I’m a technical creative focused on shaping outcomes that balance the needs of users and businesses.
Growing up in Norway sparked my initial curiosity in design, but it was during my Bachelor’s degree in Design, with a specialization in Human-Computer Interface, that my design sensibilities were truly shaped.
I previously spent a decade as an Art Director in New York, where I developed gamified experiences for digital campaigns in collaboration with various bluechip ad agencies. I like to problem-solve through Figma prototypes, delivering some novel solutions that makes user engagement enjoyable and productive, preferably both at the same time.
Passionate about traveling, I’ve explored remarkable places like sleeping in the Sahara Desert (twice), trekking Icelandic geysers, sailing Norwegian fjords, and hiking in the jungles of the Philippines, which ultimately have inspired and altered my perspective in everything I do.
Did I mention I’m a bit of a nerd? I’m constantly building home-lab servers for automation in the basement. At night I also moonlight as a Warthunder commander, and Discord admin for a hundred player strong, globally dispersed, and diverse squadron, which I’ve steered towards placing 3rd ranked in the world.
