Astri took over as CEO of Gasta in 2023, but has been closely associated with the company since 2015. First with his own company, Drople, which in 2020 merged with Gasta .
As a digital consultant, she is particularly passionate about storytelling and sharpening messages to reach their target audience. As a former journalist, she has extensive experience in crafting good and strategic content, which is crucial to succeeding in a digital world where attention is scarce.

Simon Falkauskas

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

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

Designar
hilde@gasta.no | +47 971 72 639 | LinkedIn

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.

Frode Ylvisåker Berge

Web designer, senior front-end developer
frode@gasta.no | +47 979 80 790 | LinkedIn

Frode is in his second term in Gasta , after working here for 11 years and being central to the development of the company. He worked for four years at KLP in Oslo as a front-end developer, before he longed for his home in Sogndal. Frode is a trained engineer, but has extensive experience with web design and development. He is very concerned with user experience and simple, effective web solutions. If you need an extra touch, Frode will fix it. And if you hear a frivolous comment on Gasta -office, he's definitely from Frode...

Marianne has extensive experience in e-commerce and digital marketing, and has also worked in the tech industry. She has worked closely with both small and large businesses, and knows how strategy, content, and customer journeys must work together to create results.
As the owner of her own online shopping business, she knows the everyday life behind the scenes well – from planning to execution.
When she's not working on campaigns and online solutions, you can often find her splitboarding in the Sogndal Mountains or with knitting and a cup of coffee in her hands.
