Works[]

Sigbjørnsen started her blog in 2010.[1] She created her blog following her move from Bryne to Oslo. Her blog features comic strips about the character Tegnehanne in events mainly inspired by real-life. One example originated from a moment in 2009 when Sigbjørnsen was working in a part-time job at a Peppes Pizza in Bryne and was scolded by a customer unhappy with her coffee.[2] She chose to study nursing instead of animation, her other considered option. Her character was also given a nursing career following Sigbjørnsen's completed nursing study. Her blog's genre was described by the website Sykepleien as a cross between a comic and a blog. The majority of readers are females ages 20–30.[3] She also created the comic H&M that was published online and on the publications Sandnesposten, Dagbladet, and Inside.

The Tegnehanne comic strips were first printed for the Spirit magazine and have been included in Aftenposten online since 2013. In 2015, a book consisting of old and new strips was published by Egmont.[1][4]

She illustrated the Verdens kuleste gjeng (The World's Coolest Kids) books by Maja Lunde.[5]
