About

I’m a product and UX/UI designer with 9+ years of experience, bridging research, design systems, and product delivery across startups and SaaS environments. Based in Sweden, I’ve led user-centered design for AI, mental wellbeing, and work-space booking platforms—improving onboarding significantly and delivering measurable user and client satisfaction through iterative research, usability testing, and design iteration.

I enjoy collaborating closely with engineers to build scalable design systems and component libraries, reducing friction between design and delivery. Recently, I’ve also self-initiated and built a community platform for international students in Uppsala using React and modern front-end tooling, and I’m currently deepening my HCI expertise through a Master’s program at Uppsala University.
