Interfacesthat just work.

Hej, I'm Jakob

Senior UX/UI Designer @Kiwigrid with more than 18 years of experience.

01My Approach

Good design doesn't need explaining. It just works.

The best interfaces are the ones you don't notice. I combine a structured UX process with a clear visual language and design digital products that feel natural, make complex things simple and grow with the business.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Understand what's needed: goals, constraints and the people who will use it.

  2. 02

    Strategy

    Turn insights into user flows and an information architecture that holds up.

  3. 03

    Interface Design

    Design clear, high-quality interfaces and keep the design system alive.

  4. 04

    Prototyping

    Click through it before it's built, to test logic and feel early.

  5. 05

    Handoff

    Clean specs and design tokens, so engineering builds exactly what was designed.

02What I do

Creating smart interfaces for companies, public authorities and products.

In the past I had the pleasure to work for various inspiring clients.
