Of course you could look at my chronological Resume and judge me by some bullet points in a pdf.
Or just keep scrolling and actually get to know me and my perspective on how I got there.

STORY OF MY LIFE
THREE BIGS AND ME
I grew up surrounded by my older cousins and brother. They shaped me through collaboration and competition. Taught me how to play, showed me how to fight. Never made winning easy, always made trying my duty.

PAPA
My father Is a graphic designer. Watching him design had a satisfaction to it. Many logos, many packages. I would sit beside him at his desk and comment what he was doing. I called out his flaws: you should move this, there’s too much space here, we need more contrast there. He admits, he had to take me serious. My gut feeling carried truths.

MAMA
I was the kid that drove people crazy, by never getting tired of the question “why?”. My mother was not one of them. The patient scientist she is recognized the value in asking. She would walk me through the answer as far as she could. I loved it. However still I was never satisfied enough to stop asking.

SPORTS
I’ve tried about every sport growing up. The big ones that stuck, were skateboarding and American football. One is you against the concrete, the other is you with your teammates. Both can hit hard, both of them can flow effortlessly. They taught me about flow and resilience. I practiced collaboration and expression.

TACKLE JACK
Once I was freed of the shackles that mandatory education had kept me in for 13 years, I had a lot of time on my hands, and felt a need to create freely in this world. I made my first experiences in entrepreneurship. One of my teammates and I ran an American football themed fashion brand. Branding, marketing, planning, selling, collaborating, designing and many other steps that are part of running a business. While we had no Idea of what we were doing, we started with a box of T-shirts and ended with a small but familiar following of American football fans in Germany.

IDEAS x ONNO
Parallel to this endeavor I made a great connection on my drive to create and express. My school friend and to-become-camera-man and I created a series of fun film projects. I had so many ideas and he had a camera. Creative concepting, storytelling and film production were on the task list.

SCHOOL OF IDEAS
I liked what I was doing, but it didn’t give me the clarity to choose my path and place foot in a career. However everything I was doing, had started in an Idea. Anything I was ever going to pursue, must start with Ideas. Luckily I found the Hamburg School of Ideas. After long days of school and 12 Months of agency experience in advertising and full service agencies I got my degree to be a creative concepter and copywriter.

AROUND THE WORLD
My urge of freedom, experience and expression pulled me out into the world. By now I’ve lived in 6 countries, been hired, worked freelance. used my brain, used my hands. Worked alone, worked in teams, worked with customers and clients. Gastronomy, Creative Industry, Nature and Action experiences.

CREATIVE BUSINESS
In the united states I recognized the value a university degree holds in this world. Along with my fortune of being European and getting one for next to nothing, I signed up the the Creative Business Bachelor in the Netherlands. It teaches competences like critical and creative thinking, cultural intelligence, life long learning skills and many more that become relevant in any approach to future oriented business thinking. To name more palpable areas: Marketing, Branding, Business Innovation, Market research...

I'm Sune Øysten
GEHT NICHT GIBTS NICHT

I feel Home at the intersection of Creativity and Logic. This two sided sword let's me craft impactful solutions for the future and the presence. Whether it’s pioneering positive change or simply making someone smile, I aim to leave the world a little brighter than how I found it.

grounded in strategy, driven by creativity
As a Copywriter I learned to have Ideas – Lots of them. As many as it takes to have the right one. I also learned to capture those Ideas in clean, compelling copy.
As a Creative Business student, I’m trained to approach challenges through research, analysis, and creative strategy. I learn to understand people, markets, and cultural contexts; turn insights into direction; and build solutions that can survive the real world.
The focus is on ideas that work — for people, for business, and for the world around us.
It’s problem-solving, grounded in strategy, driven by creativity.
