About

I lead digital projects and work with clients to identify needs, define solutions, and bring them to life. Currently at Hugsmiðjan as a Project Manager and Digital Consultant, I collaborate with designers, developers, and stakeholders to shape and implement solutions that improve user experience and support business objectives.

Previously, I spent seven years at Advania, advising and leading complex software implementations — Salesforce, AI solutions, cloud hosting — while building long-term client relationships across Iceland and the Nordics. I thrive at the intersection of technology and business, where clear thinking and strong communication drive real outcomes.
