Hello Friends!
Over the past three years, I've had the incredible opportunity to work in the craft beer industry and the home brewing supply market in Sweden. During this journey, I founded Crooked Moon Brewing together with some great friends and learned invaluable lessons about running a business. I also consulted for Brewski, managing everything from shipping logistics to designing graphics for Brewskival in both 2022 and 2023. This included creating signs, posters, banners, festival bands, and designing 50-60 beer labels for Brewski.
However, life took an unexpected turn. On February 2nd, we welcomed our second daughter, Sóley. Shortly afterwards, I was informed that due to changes in the home brewing market post-pandemic, my role was no longer needed. While I understood the decision, it was still a significant change.
Fortunately, I was able to secure a part-time consulting role with Brewski over the summer, which helped support my family. As of September, I began my parental leave, partly because I hadn't secured another role after Brewskival, and my wife, (who has been a complete rock during these intense periods of dreaming and late nights), works in Denmark and is the primary earner, needed to return to work.
The beer industry has faced challenges, and many passionate individuals have lost their livelihoods. While my preference is to stay in this industry, I'm open to opportunities outside of it as well, given my responsibility to my two daughters.
I'm looking for a full-time or flexible part-time job, as I also manage some minor brewery operations, which occasionally require immediate attention.
My parental leave ends in February, and I am actively seeking employment. While I don't have a formal university degree, I bring a wealth of self-taught knowledge in various media productions like music, video, graphic design, and illustrations. I excel at finding unique solutions and rethinking traditional methods. I'm particularly passionate about beer chemistry and always eager to deep into research and finding new products and solutions.
I may not be the best fit for specialized role like a Japanese sushi knife, but I am versatile and adaptable, much more like a Swiss Army knife.
If you or someone you know could use my skills and enthusiasm, please reach out to me via DM. Feel free to share this post, and if it makes you happy, clap your hands!
Here is some (not all) of the work I've done over the years.
