Hi,<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Jag \u00e4r en m\u00e5ngsidig UX\/UI- och visuell designer med specialistkompetens inom tillg\u00e4nglighet och universell utformning, med n\u00e4stan tv\u00e5 decennier av att skapa inkluderande, h\u00e5llbara l\u00f6sningar som driver positiv p\u00e5verkan och best\u00e5ende f\u00f6r\u00e4ndring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Precision<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

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 \u2014 it’s where I start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Play<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Creative Explorer. I find unconventional paths and solutions to a problem. I\u2019m also the one playing The Final Countdown<\/em> on air guitar when the deadline is two hours away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
