My role
Head of design
Product designer (UX/UI)
Date
2021 – Ongoing
I turn complex challenges into effective and delightful solutions that resonate with users, express brands and deliver business impact.
I am a product designer and design leader, currently part of the talented team at Soundtrack. I have a Master’s degree in Interaction Design and 10 years of professional experience, along with additional experience in side projects, development and art. I am passionate about design, business, digital products, strong brands, art and people.
I strive to create simple, beautiful, and effective solutions that serve both user needs and business goals. I find it incredibly rewarding to dive deep into the intricacies of complex digital consumer products and to play a role in every aspect of the design process. My passion for bold and effective branding stems from my conviction that it is a vital component of any successful product that truly resonates with its users.
I am based in Stockholm most of the year. In addition to design, I enjoy psychology, philosophy, running, economics, nature, electronic and ambient music, traveling and festivals.
