How to Pass the Personality Test

You can also read this article on my website. — It’s been a year since, in January of 2019, I published the article How to Ace the Design Test. In it, I argued how take-home (design) assignments used in the hiring process need to be seen for what they really are: unpaid work that unhealthily distorts the equity between company…

ā€œHow to Ace the Design Testā€

As part of a job search I found myself googling for a solution when really I was asking the wrong question. — The first time I did a design test was when I was trying to make it as a freelance designer — and was failing at it, too. Business wasn’t exactly booming and I was struggling with finding freelance work which was actually paid. I had plenty who contacted me with…

Universal Principles Of Design: 10 Principles Every Designer Should Pocket

Originally written for SaaS Design’s blog. Head on over there now to read the full article. (Don’t worry, Karen, it’s still free.) — I very clearly remember the first time I opened up a copy of ā€œUniversal Principles of Design,ā€ thinking it would be the peak of nerdiness for me as someone who deliberately spent the least possible amount of time in school. This was in 2011 when I was only starting to…

Well, That Escalated Quickly: Redesigning Learningbank’s Learning Platform

My onboarding task as the new Product Designer of Learningbank’s Learning Platform was to redesign it. — When I started as the designer at Learningbank in February of 2019 my mission was clear… Just kidding — I’ve already used that line in a previous case study and as I was beginning this article I found myself revisiting the pages of that chapter: Let’s redesign the entire platform, they said. It will be fun, they said. When I started as the designer at Napp in September of 2017 my mission was clear… blog.prototypr.io

Goodbye, Adobe.

Hello, Figma! šŸ‘‹ (Updated April 2020) — My relationship with Adobe began over ten years ago when as an insecure, spotty teenager I discovered Photoshop and the wonders of the Clone Tool. Later on Photoshop became where I created my very first website design before painstakingly moving on to Illustrator. I even had a brief romance with…

Maybe I should do something else?

Last summer I wanted to quit design and become a painter. — I consider myself an industrious type of person. I can work very hard and intensely for several consecutive hours — especially when doing something I like. I often enter the ā€œflow-stateā€ when being creative whether it’s gaming, drawing, painting, writing, crafting or designing. Design is something I like doing. It’s…

The other side of Fear

It’s an early spring Sunday in March where a harsh, Scandinavian winter is still stubbornly clinging to its own existence. You can taste the frost in the air and breathing it in stings your nostrils. Were it any other typical Sunday I would be at home in my cave, burrito’d…

A UX story of Good Intentions, Google Maps and Cat Poop šŸˆšŸ’©

When working with a design, I often find myself asking: ā€œWhat does the person visiting or using my design want out of it? What it their goal?ā€ If I can figure out what people want from the product, I can guide them there faster and easier; resulting in a, hopefully…

Let’s redesign the entire platform, they said. It will be fun, they said.

When I started as the designer at Napp in September of 2017 my mission was clear. I was to gradually improve the design, look and feel as well as the user experience of the publishing platform Siesta. Despite this being five or six months ago already, I clearly remember sitting…
