Hæ!

Ég er Embla, manneskjan á bakvið þessa síðu sem þú ert að skoða. Ég lærði vöruhönnun og tók svo master í leikjahönnun í Damörku og bjó þar í 8 ár. Ég elska að teikna, búa til borðspil, klappa kettinum mínum Pésa, byggja lestarbrautir úr tréteinum, baka kökur, leika við börnin mín tvö og lesa.

Hi!

I’m Embla, the person behind this webpage. I’m a product and game designer. My interests are in creating games, mostly in creating the graphics but I've also done some game play mechanics. I enjoy making products in a broad sense of the word, ranging from packaging design, food design to experience design and cover art. In my free time I like to bake cakes, draw, sew clothes and costumes, pet cats and my kids, go to the pool and play loads and loads of games.

Since I'm very, very often asked what my name means I might as well explain it here:

Embla - is the name of the first female human in Norse Mythology, carved out of wood and given live by the gods. Askur & Embla are similar to Adam & Eve, although Embla doesn't eat any apples.

Vigfúsdóttir - literal meaning: daughter-of-a-man-who-is-eager-to-kill. Yeah… Some Icelandic names tend to sound a bit brutal when translated. That’s our Viking heritage I guess. Icelandic children get their last name from their father (or sometimes mother) with -dottir or -son ending, yes, just like in The Lord of The Rings.
