Below is the tale of Søren Hornum.
I'm in my early thirties, living and working in Trondheim, Norway as a Digital Designer.
About five years ago I moved back to Norway after having studied and worked in Australia for 4 years. Moving to Australia to complete my bachelor of Digital Media was a natural choice for me. I had already spent more time outside than inside Norway after I turned 18. and I didn't have to think twice about going to the other side of the world for new experiences. Traveling might, in fact, have been one of the things that opened my eyes to design in the first place and has helped shape me as a designer as well as a person.
It is all these memories and stories from people I have met and experiences I have had that inspires my style of design. I like to think of it as a mix of my Scandinavian heritage, using clean and simple lines combined with colourful energetic design that represents the memories and diversity experienced from around the world.
Since coming pack to Norway I've worked as a community manager for Alan Walker, with responsibility for producing content and publishing to his social media platforms. After this I've worked as a full time Digital Designer first at Picapoint in Oslo, and now at Posisjon AS in Trondheim. During this time I have worked with a large variety of, local and national clients including Sport Outlet, Askeladden Boats, Rosenborg Ballklub, Big Bite Subs, Sabrura Sushi and many more.
