I am Mads Johan Øgaard a Norwegian illustrator, animator, public speaker & special education teacher.

My passion is to create art that makes others think, especially within the awareness of learning differences and mental health, I myself am an individual with dyslexia and dyscalculia. I use my experiences to support and make awareness of​ these subjects. Ether through art, videos, public speaking, workshops or sessions with clients.

I aim with my work to portray how individuals are feeling to easier explain their situation to others as well as oneself.
