About us

At Lomi Agency, we believe that the power of design extends far beyond aesthetics—it is a strategic tool for solving big-picture business challenges. Founded by Hallgrim Sagen and Bjørn Hembre, Lomi was created to bring design-driven methods into the heart of business strategy, helping companies bridge the gap between product, brand, and market success.

Design as strategy

Lomi Agency is not a traditional design agency. We work at the intersection of strategy, product development, and branding, ensuring that companies don’t just build great products but also position them for long-term success. Our approach is rooted in the idea that design is a business tool, capable of shaping industries, driving innovation, and making bold ideas tangible.
