About Marte
I am a Norwegian designer & artist living in Trondheim, Norway. I have a BA in graphic design and an MA in visual communication, both from Southampton Solent University in England. After finishing my studies, I worked for 18 months at Etch, a digital consultancy, before moving back to Norway at the end of 2020. I now work as a digital designer at EGGS Design in Trondheim.
(I'm not taking on any freelance work at the moment)
And what is epletyv?
“Epletyv” [ep:le tyv] is Norwegian and means “apple thief” — directly translated.
Growing up, my friends and I used to go scrumping for apples in the gardens around my neighbourhood. We learned where the best apples grew and which gardens that had the angriest owners. We had a get-away routine but also a handful of excuses for when that routine failed.
Today I pay for the apples I eat, but the name has stuck with me and is the name of my brand and online persona.
