Hello!

I’m Tina Lovise Hetland, a 34-year-old creative soul from Sandnes, Norway. My passion for creativity has been a lifelong journey, beginning in my childhood when I would spend countless hours drawing, painting, crocheting, and even building things from scratch. My love for visual arts and hands-on projects has always been a core part of who I am, shaping my perspective and fueling my desire to bring ideas to life through various mediums.

In late 2020, I discovered that Noroff, a renowned institution for creative education, offers opportunities to students even without traditional higher education entrance qualifications. This revelation felt like the key to a door I had been searching for, and I knew right away that I had to take this chance to pursue my passion on a deeper level. Although I wish I had known about this sooner, I believe that every step in life happens for a reason—better late than never, right?

My journey at Noroff has been an exciting adventure, allowing me to refine my skills, explore new design techniques, and engage with a community of like-minded individuals who share my passion for creativity. As I continue to learn and grow, I’m eager to see where this path will lead me, both professionally and personally.

I’m excited about the future and the endless possibilities that lie ahead. Whether it’s through graphic design, photography, or any other creative endeavor, I look forward to sharing my work and making a meaningful impact in the world of design.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio, and I hope you enjoy exploring my projects as much as I enjoyed creating them.
