Cappelen Art & Design (org. number: 996 628 841) is a sole proprietorship business created in 2011 by Ann Christin Cappelen who is living in Oslo, Norway. I created Cappelen Art & Design for doing freelance-jobs on my free time when I’m not at my full-time job. In the daytime I work as a front-end developer and designer at TV 2 – Norway’s largest commercial television station.
My largest advantage is that I am both a designer and a developer. I have always had an eye for design and drawing, but my education lies in development and programming. The two parts of me affects one and another so that I’m both a designer who understands the limits of putting something in code on the web, and a code monkey who can code things into something pretty without consulting an external designer.
My strongest skill is in the WordPress CMS. I’ve been using and managed WordPress blogs for at least five years and comfortable with writing both plugins and themes. At work I’m responsible for managing TV 2′s blogs, a multisite network with around 140 blogs for all types of bloggers; journalists, TV show participants and Norwegian celebrities.
I’m also familiar with Scrum and Sprint project managements, using Subversion control, and the Java-based Escenic CMS.
