Work experience

Kumpan Sweden AB 2018 – Ongoing

Head of Agency & Lead UX/UI Designer

Working as head of agency operations at Kumpan, as well as tasks as lead UX/UI designer where I have done everything from designing iOS/Android apps and websites to extensive graphic profiles and identities for larger companies. I have also worked a lot with frontend development (React, Next.js, WordPress, headless CMS) and had personnel responsibility for a larger group of people.
With a strong sense of responsibility and efficiency, I have taken projects all the way from start to delivery, as well as worked with retention and continued development after implementation.

The projects include but are not limited to:

  • Pixel-perfect UI designs for React Native apps, public webs, and admin interfaces
  • Wireframes for the web and digital interfaces, solid UI work
  • Project management
  • User Research
  • Analytics & Tracking
  • Cloud-based brand guides and graphic profiles
  • Print design for signage, exhibitions, business cards and letters
  • Frontend development in several coding languages and frameworks
  • Animations and video editing
  • 3D in Blender

Customers include but are not limited to Schibsted, Blocket, Lendo, Aritco and Lotsgroup (Scania).

Out of love for copywriting, I also took a course in UX writing at Bergh's School of Communication during my time at Kumpan. In addition to all-round skills, I also have a good understanding of WCAG and accessibility design.

Worked as a freelance graphic designer/UI designer since 2007 on the side of my studies.

The main focus of the company was web projects, but also graphic profiles and logo design.

  • Wireframes for the web and digital interfaces, solid UI work

  • Graphic profiles
