Anders Lorentzen – a web developer and illustrator, Trondheim, Norway

No answer key.

On paper and in code it’s the same job: follow the flow, pick a direction, make the calls that give it expression. By day I do it as a web developer at Styrk Reklame, with React, TypeScript, Astro and WordPress. The rest of the time, with charcoal and pixels, usually among trolls and wights.

Drew first. Coded later.

After a bachelor’s in Creative Digital Media and another in preschool teaching, I started coding during the pandemic – and got my first developer job after a year of teaching myself. I work with JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Astro, PHP, Tailwind, WordPress and Sanity.
