ABOUT ME
SILJA Á.HANSEN
I am a 23-year-old from the Faroe Islands, now living in lovely Aarhus. Ever since I figured out how to hold a pencil, I’ve been passionate about creativity, and that passion keeps growing every day.
I’m currently studying Multimedia Design at Business Academy Aarhus, specializing in content creation. I love developing fresh ideas and bringing them to life, whether through design, digital media, or interactive projects.
With a mix of curiosity and a hands-on approach, I’m always excited to explore new tools and technologies to make creative solutions that stand out.
WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE
I pride myself on being highly flexible and adaptable. Whether it’s tackling new challenges, switching between different tasks, or adjusting to various team dynamics. My ability to stay open and adaptable helps me stay effective and resourceful in any situation.

GET TO KNOW ME
I’m all about spontaneity and adventure! I love pushing my boundaries and stepping out of my comfort zone, whether it’s trying something new or taking on a fresh challenge. I have a laid-back sense of humor and enjoy finding the fun in everyday moments.
My love for spontaneity and adventure keeps me excited about new experiences and challenges. I embrace stepping out of my comfort zone as a way to grow and fuel my creativity. I’m always eager to learn and explore, I find joy in both professional projects and life’s simple moments.
Enjoying all the small moments in life has a huge value to me. I have a deep passion for travel and the opportunity to immerse myself in the diverse cultures and experiences the world has to offer. This constant exposure to new environments is a wellspring of inspiration for me. I thrive on the thrill of trying new things and challenging myself to develop new skills every day. Stepping outside of my comfort zone has always been essential to my personal growth.
Living life to the fullest is something I actively pursue. I seize every opportunity that comes my way—whether it’s saying yes to a fishing trip even if I’m afraid of the open sea, or agreeing to step on a stage in front of 30,000 people despite my stage-fright. While I’m always eager to challenge myself and take risks, what holds the most value to me are the connections I share with my family and friends. Their support and presence in my life are something I am deeply grateful for, and they continue to inspire me in everything I do.
