I'm Maria Eriksson, a UX/UI designer with over four years of experience creating intuitive, accessible digital experiences. I focus on user-centered research, prototyping in Figma, and iterative testing to turn complex problems into elegant solutions. I combine cognitive science and service design to craft interfaces that meet WCAG 2.1 standards and feel natural to use. I've collaborated with cross-functional teams—developers, product owners, clinicians, and caregivers—to design accessible, scalable products. From refining design systems to running workshops and usability studies, I aim to deliver interfaces that reduce friction and support people in their everyday tasks.
