Hans Jørgen Wærner (b. 1988) is an award-winning designer and art director from Oslo who often works at the intersection of design and music. His diverse portfolio showcases projects ranging from visual identities to movie titles, record covers, motion graphics, and illustration.

At Swedish creative business school Hyper Island, he mastered design, technology, strategy, and entrepreneurship. Real-world projects helped him develop skills in providing constructive feedback, resolving conflict, and navigating human dynamics – hallmarks of Hyper Island's experiential learning model.

Hans boasts a versatile design career, working independently and collaborating with some of Europe's top design and advertising agencies on large-scale campaigns for international and national clients. At Vasava in Barcelona he crafted visual narratives for global brands like Diesel, Redbull and Lacoste, and at at Anti in Oslo, his work helped shape the visual landscape of some of Norway's leading brands.

As a co-founder and art director of Mutual Intentions, Hans has been instrumental in shaping the label's identity from its inception. The label's visual output - from record covers to merchandise, music videos, and promotional campaigns - has garnered acclaim from fans and industry insiders alike.
