About Me

My name is Alexandra Diljá & I am a growth marketer based in Reykjavík, Iceland. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s in marketing, I read a lot of books, listen to a lot of music and play wayyyy too many video games.

I am the VP of Growth at GRID - the new face of spreadsheets. GRID is the numbers tool for a new generation of knowledge workers. With GRID, you can turn data from spreadsheets or other sources (like Notion databases) into interactive web docs.

I co-founded the grassroots community organization Game Makers Iceland alongside Haukur Steinn Logason, Torfi Ásgeirsson and Jói Sigurðsson in 2018. We host monthly meet-ups, game jams and other networking events, along with maintaining an active online discussions on our official slack channel.

I am a member of Isle of Games, an art game collective founded in 2017. The collective consists of a diverse group of people all with the common goal of making and exhibiting video games and their extended family in Iceland in collaboration with local poets, novelists, musicians, and artists of all kinds. So far, we have put on two one-day events, Isle of Games 001 in 2018 and Isle of Games 002 in 2019, and are planning to do more in the future. Isle of Games events are a mix of talks, one-of-a-kind games installations, and performances involving games played live on stage.
