CONCEPT TO CREATION: MY DESIGN PROCESS

As an experienced and passionate designer, I’ve had the privilege of sharing my insights and expertise on various prestigious platforms, both within Sweden and internationally. I’ve engaged with diverse audiences, discussing everything from product design processes to effective UX Design work.


In these engagements, I dive into my creative process, share my design strategies, and communicate my vision for the future of design. With a background in VR development dating back to the early '90s, I’m particularly interested in exploring the untapped potentials of VR/AR/XR from a UX perspective.


I find immense value in these speaking engagements. They serve as platforms for sharing my knowledge and experiences, stirring new perspectives, and engaging in an exciting exchange of ideas. More than that, they provide a source of inspiration that continuously fuels my work.

When teaching about the design processes that I use across my varied portfolio – UX Design, 3D Printing, Product Design, and more. I delve into my experiences as a designer, revealing how I conceptualize, design, and develop innovative solutions. I’ve come up with my own variant of the Design Sprint concept which I believe improves in ways that make sure the right ideas are explored as well as keeping the whole team more inspired and feeling heard and contributing through the full process from start to finish.


I also offer my insights into effective team collaboration, focusing on maintaining a positive work environment and fostering creativity. I firmly believe that a happy team creates brilliant work, and I enjoy sharing this philosophy with others.


AI, Machine learning and VR/AR/XR technology is changing at a rapid pace and I’m excited about its future implications for Product and UX design.
