Astri Knudsen

Agency manager, digital advisor
astri@gasta.no | +47 984 08 619 | LinkedIn

More about Astri.
Astri is talkative, but as a former newspaper journalist, she writes more than she talks. She has a master's degree in political economy, experience as front editor at sol.no and project manager at the content marketing agency Bonzaii, and knows a bit about a lot of things. In 2015, she started the subsidiary Drople together with Gasta, a company specialising in content marketing. Towards the end of 2020, we merged the companies to increase our focus on digital marketing and let Astri take on a larger role as project manager for our customers. Astri always has time for a chat.

Simon Falkauskas

Web designer, senior front-end developer
simon@gasta.no | +47 465 60 864 | LinkedIn

More about Simon.
Simon is a Squarespace freak and is one of the most experienced on Squarespace in Europe, without a doubt. Simon is a Lithuanian trained programmer and has many years of experience as a web designer/user interface programmer in major web companies in Vilnius. He is extremely efficient and creates elegant solutions. As the only foreigner in Gasta, he is well liked by customers who don't understand much the norwegian dialect - they prefer Simon's concise and mostly well-worded Norwegian.

Hilde Nes

More about Hilde.
Hilde has many years of experience in Gasta and can boast good experience with graphic profile projects, in addition to packaging design. She has a design education from Kreativ Fagskole and a very good eye for style and creative design. Despite the fact that she is very talkative, she is frighteningly efficient and always goal-oriented. There are not many customers who do not come back to Hilde. She is also happy to take on web design assignments or trade fair materials, signage and brochures.
