Vegar Berentsen

I design and build apps, websites and tools from Østerås, Norway, and run Berentsen Labs. Usually near water.

In short

I make useful things for screens and for people: native apps, open-data websites, a surf game, and pages for a café, a music studio and a vinyl fair in my part of Norway.
