Hello
I'm currently available for freelance work.
My name is Silje Thorn.
(That's pronounced "Sil-yeh")
I'm a Creative Technologist and Artist based near London, UK. I thrive most in the magic that happens when art and tech collide, where I make Augmented Reality effects for social media and the web, as well as digital fine art pieces that are available as NFTs across several platforms.

About Me.
My background is in illustration, product design and localisation. In 2020, I dove headfirst into creative technology when I started building Augmented Reality effects for my illustrations, and expanded into digital fine art when involvement in the community led me to discovering Crypto Art/NFTs. I haven’t looked back since; I have relished the opportunity to learn fascinating new skills within all sorts of disciplines that AR has led me to, from 3D modelling to animation to A-Frame programming, as well as using them to experiment with art making. Currently, my art is available for sale on the Ethereum blockchain, and I offer a range of AR and asset creation services on a freelance basis.
