Malte Gustavsson
Behind the pixels.

Hi,

I’m a versatile UX/UI & Visual Designer specializing in accessibility & universal design with nearly two decades of creating inclusive, sustainable solutions that drive positive impact and lasting change.

My background in the public sector and NGOs has given me a deep understanding of complex systems and human needs. Today, I apply that expertise to design digital solutions that are clear, inclusive, and purposeful. This is me:

Precision

The Systems Thinker. I build robust design systems, care deeply about accessibility (WCAG is my love language), and make sure every detail serves clarity and logic. Inclusion for me isn’t an afterthought — it’s where I start.

Play

The Creative Explorer. I find unconventional paths and solutions to a problem. I’m also the one playing The Final Countdown on air guitar when the deadline is two hours away.

❤️ UX DESIGNER WITH A HEART

Empathy first.

♿ Accessibility Standards

WCAG Obsessed.

💻 FAVORITE DESIGN TOOL

Figma (and the ‘Tidy Up’ button).

🇦 FAVORITE FONT

Atkinson Hyperlegible

🎸 Crunch-time Anthem

(Non-negotiable)  

⚠️ Relatable Error State

“I think I just deleted the whole design system.”
(Don’t worry, I always backup!)
