About
me

Hello, my name is Sara Sandhaug, and I am 23 years old. I am currently in the third semester of my master’s program at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), specializing in interaction design.

During the first semester of my master’s, I went on exchange to Barcelona, where I studied graphic design at Elisava Barcelona School of Design and Engineering.

In addition to my studies, I work at Klatreverket Torshov, a climbing center in Oslo, as an instructor, safety guard, and receptionist. Outside of work and school, I enjoy climbing, running, and spending time with friends. I would describe myself as creative, engaged, structured, and detail-oriented, with strong work capacity and a high ability to execute.





INTERESTS AND SKILLS


I enjoy design because it brings together creativity and problem-solving. I am motivated by uncovering real user needs and translating them into meaningful solutions through continuous design and user testing. 

My interests range from visual expression, such as colors, typography and digital aesthetics, to interaction and service design, where prototyping and iteration allow me to build, measure, learn.
