Tine has been a cosplayer since 2009 and has been practicing this art form professionally since 2014. She has made cosplays from about various games and anime, such as League of Legends, Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Princess Mononoke, Super Mario, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, Tokyo MewMew, Boku no Hero Academia, Ranma 1/2, and My Little Pony.

She has received top 3 placements in numerous competitions in the Scandinavian region and finds her passion in introducing people to the cosplay universe.

In 2019, she got to design the outfit for the “National Costume” category of Miss Iceland as part of the Miss World competition, which received a top 3 ranking. She has also worked with big names like Riot Games, Blizzard Entertainment, Telenor, Razer and Sharkmob for cosplay projects.

In 2021, she founded her creative agency Tinerific Agency, which consists of 8 cosplayers, 2 manga illustrators and a cosplay photographer. Tinerific offers cosplay/drawing/photo workshops, panels and performances all over Norway for districts, makerspaces and elementary schools (you can study cosplay for a year in Norway). For the future, Tinerific hopes to expand outside of Scandinavia to bring more creativity/cosplay to the people.

That being said, Tine has a great love for armor and special effects and spends well over hours perfecting the smallest details on her projects. Currently she is working on her own big workshop to expand her tutorials and spread more creativity to the world.
