About

Hi. I'm Steinar and I'm an interaction designer. I work at ENNEMM in Iceland as an interactive art director, lecture part time at The Iceland Academy of the Arts, and I try to do design research when I have the time available.

I have an MA (Res) degree in Typography and Graphic Communication from University of Reading and a BA in Graphic Communication from LHÍ.

Design and research

My design focuses on usability and I can participate in projects as a consultant; doing research, testing, wireframing, etc., or fully embrace projects by also finishing with the detailed design work.

My research has mainly been focused on the usability of the character <ð> in Icelandic writing. I wrote my MA dissertation on the topic and I am currently working on a book on the character. The latter received funding from Arurora Design Fund.
