About Me

I am 27, Icelandic.

Started a company and work there every day.

Hacked my way through the Icelandic fashion world with a t-shirt A black 666 North t-shirt.

Which led me into starting the  A set of silver teethfirst gold teeth business there..

Made a couple of music videos in the meantime.

Worked on a presidential campaign in Iceland.

Made all my money taking photos. Spent all my money developing film.

That led me into the art world.

Worked with Olafur Eliasson for the last 5 years:
- taught me how to see again.
- taught me most of what I know.
- had the chance to work on all kind of amazing projects.

...including researching animal perception for the show Life  A green pond exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler.

Studied art in London  Foggy London and SwitzerlandSwiss Mountains

Spent half the time there discovering new artists and the other half discovering new companies.

I wrote a story. And finished a few projects.

Had a three-month adventure in LisbonA single tree in the sand in Portugal

Ended up living in a garden cottage  A garden shed covered in plants in Berkeley.

Watched AI bubble up, got fantastic lectures from Percy Liang, Yann LeCun, Ken Stanley, Reid Hoffman, etc.

While keeping a connection to the ground with lots of unexpected lessons about the value of context and simplicity through the farm-to-table movement. A bowl of basil and tomatoes

Decided that I really like technology.  California sunsetAnd I love San Francisco.

It feels like the entire internet is about to change. I want to see a completely digitally integrated future. And I do not mean talking fridges.

Decided it was time to go to the frontlines. Making things is hard.
