MEET BILLIE
Billie started as an alter ego. A thought about who we wanted to be if we dared to do things our way — without adapting to the standard. We gave her a name because we wanted something personal behind everything we do. Not a corporate name. Not an abbreviation. A person. An attitude. A way of meeting the world.
Billie is the one who makes the bold moves. Who isn't afraid to challenge. Who always starts with why — and never stops until it feels right. She is who we build through. And she is who we bring into every single project.
With soul intention, always.
MEET THE TEAM
We started Billie because we kept seeing the same problem -
great businesses, invisible brands.
Nora Ruud Bjørnholt
Chief Creative Officer & Partner

Nora believes the best solutions come when you stop and see the full picture. Not just the individual pieces, but the big picture. That is how she works; with calm, curiosity and a deep conviction that clarity changes everything.
What drives her is the belief that more businesses can succeed, not by copying others, but by finding their own voice. That every business can shine in its own way, uniquely and authentically. That is the conviction she brings into every project.
The journey here hasn't always been straightforward. But she believes everything happens for a reason, that even what felt wrong took her exactly where she was supposed to go. To Billie. To something she is passionate about - and that makes a difference for others. She draws inspiration from nature, from travel and from people who dare to think differently. That calm and curiosity she brings into every single project.
Anne Hauge Stensland
Hybrid between CEO and Artistic Director & Partner

Anne is a creative visionary with the ability to execute. She senses market directions before most, and lives for new ideas — turning them into actual reality.
Following her instincts and leading with integrity is what drives her, and combined with her ability to see the big picture, she uses this to steer projects and the people involved towards the best possible outcome.
Anne is hands-on on projects and never stops finding creative out-of-the-box solutions for your brand.
Anne's background is anything but straight. At high school she chose philosophy and art history — and it opened her eyes to a world of aesthetics and creativity she never wanted to leave. But life had other plans. She felt called to train as a nurse at Lovisenberg, then pursued a bachelor's in nutrition. One day, walking her dog past Maderud nursing home, she walked in on a whim and asked if they had a vacancy. They had just posted a position for a quality manager. She was underqualified. She got the job. What followed were seven years as quality manager and two and a half years as managing director — leading a nursing home with 83 residents and 130 staff. She built internal quality systems, secured procedures across every level, and led with both heart and structure. But the pull towards something of her own never went away. Two years before leaving, she co-founded festligeting.no — an online store that was meant to be a side project. It became a success. Big enough that she left a safe, upward career in healthcare to work with balloons. Eleven years later, Festligeting had become a leading player in event décor — known for its distinct visual identity and exclusive styling. But Anne kept seeing something her clients needed more of. Help building their brands. Creating identity. Thinking beyond the obvious. That is exactly what Anne does best. She sees the big picture before others do, moves fast and trusts her instincts. As a Manifestor Generator — google it — she is meant to do many things. And she does. Now she brings all of it into Billie.
