The journey — ventures that paid in lessons

Fa

Firra AS

Web design studio · Norway · Company №1

My first company — and the fastest education I ever bought. I learned to build websites, to pitch, and to run a company from the inside out: the accounts, the paperwork, all of it.

Took away → web design craft & company structure. Firra's skills built every venture since.

3D Printshop logo

3D Printshop

E-commerce · Norway · ~50 000 NOK revenue

Designed it, printed it, packed it, shipped it. Real customers paid real money — proof the machine worked. The margins just weren't worth the hours, so it was wound down on purpose, not in flames.

Took away → unit economics, logistics and when to quit while you're ahead.

04 Builds — code & web

Built by hand, shipped to the internet.

Everything here started as a blank editor. Web design learned at Firra, e-commerce learned at the print shop, and the ventures that run on that code today.
