Professional info :
Since 2010 I've been studying Filmmaking, first in the Icelandic Film School, then working on various sets, and currently in Wimbledon College of Arts. That includes No Homo, a short film that went to Cannes film festival and won 2 short film awards in Iceland, Ávaxtakarfan, a popular Children's Theatre piece that was turned into a Tv Show and Kexvessmiðjan, a comedy show produced for RÚV, the biggest Tv network in Iceland.
Since 2012 I've been Studying in Wimbledon College of Arts, honing my skills as a set designer. as much as I loved the Icelandic Film School, I didn't feel that I learned enough about set making, technical drawings, storyboarding etc, so I Applied to WCA, which has really expanded my understanding of set design and model making as well as the above.
I've worked in a variety of spaces creating sets in galleries, schools, colleges, Theatres and TV studios. I am an organized and confident person, and would provide a lot positive energy to the work place.
