Hello there,
When you grow up with a developer/CTO mom and her friends, choosing tech isn’t a brave choice. It’s just a standard choice…
And THAT, folks, is the value of visible role models!
So I try to be one, and being honored as one of Norway’s 50 leading tech women helps fuel the fire!
But even so, I had my mind set on being a graphic designer. Another role model, my cool young aunt, was an industrial designer, and as a teenager, I read Naomi Klein’s No Logo.
My plan: get into advertising and use its powers for good… 👊
So I am forever grateful to my high school teacher, Karsten, who patiently nudged me over the edge into applying to the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Thank you Karsten 🙏
I am having so much fun 🤩
All the best,
Queen Raae
