In collaboration with Kosmos and Kaos, I produced marketing material for the new website of Tækniskólinn (Technical School).

The improved website provides a comprehensive overview of the school's diversity and facilitates students in choosing a suitable study program.

The unique characteristic of Tækniskólinn lies in its close connection to the industry, and we wanted to provide an insightful representation of various professions in a visual manner.

Víkingur Reykjavík unveiled a new home kit for the 2022 season in collaboration with fashion designer Bergur Guðnason and Iceland's cup champion, Halldór Smára. The kit features the Víkings logo with four red stripes and three black stripes, resembling the design on the new jersey. However, this year, the black stripes fade towards the chest, providing the jersey with a fresh and modern appearance. Víkingur Reykjavík has also taken a sustainable approach by incorporating eco-friendly materials in the construction of their new kit. The new jerseys are made from recycled plastic bottles, symbolising the team's commitment to environmental responsibility. Each jersey utilises a total of 13 bottles, demonstrating the dedication to reducing waste and embracing sustainable practices.

In collaboration with Brandenburg, Ólafur produced an advertisement for Nova and Tónlistann (tonlistinn.is). The collaboration between Nova and Tónlistinn is about giving Icelandic musicians the opportunity to introduce themselves specifically within Tónlistinn, create playlists with their favorite songs as well as create friend tones from their songs that Nova's customers can set up with them.

In collaboration with Saga Film and Yellow Bird, I produced marketing material for the TV series Thin Ice. Overall I spent three weeks capturing the moments that took place on set and collaborated closely with the producer Sören Stærmose, but he and Lene Endre had the idea for the series. 

This is one of the larger Nordic co-operation projects and it was also the largest Icelandic film project in 2019.

Brons, a bar offering a wide range of services and entertainment options, sought to elevate its visual communication and showcase its diverse offerings.
To achieve this goal, we adopted a multimedia approach, incorporating both still imagery and live-action video. Our goal was to create a dynamic and immersive experience that would effectively convey the brand's essence.

We crafted energetic live-action scenes to provide viewers with an engaging journey through Brons' offerings and in parallel utilised still photography to capture moments that represent the bars atmosphere
