Design Systems

Legendary Artifact

Building robust design systems according to business standard making them a breeze for developers to consume.

The single most important point where designers and developers meet

UX Design

Legendary Enchantment

From research and wireframing to user testing and information architecture, covering the full UX process with one important difference; a genuine understanding of what's actually buildable.

UI Design

Legendary Sorcery

Summoning interfaces with precision and intent. From typography and colour to components and visual hierarchy.

The difference between something that works and something that feels inevitable.

Frontend Engineering

Legendary Instant

Feels like coming home working with JS frameworks like Angular, React and Astro. Years of experience when it comes to WordPress.

When I start writing cascading style sheets, the sheets fear me...

Interaction Design

Legendary Enchantment

Reanimating or just animating. Breathing life into static interfaces through motion, states and micro-interactions that guide users without them ever noticing.

From prototyping the first interaction to fine-tuning bezier curves until every transition feels effortless.

Design Leadership

Legendary Creature

Rallying the troops towards a common goal is in my nature, from briefing and planning to agile sprints and client presentations.

Experienced in product ownership and stakeholder management, keeping design and development pulling in the same direction.

Pick your adventurer

Having a hard time choosing between design and code, I went all in on both and Dubbelkatt was born. Over seventeen years I've built genuine depth in each, which means I can move across the full product journey. Now pick your cards.

What I've been working on

A mixed bag of a little bit of everything. Case studies, thoughts on design and development, and projects straight from the design lab.

about

How I became a unicorn when nobody else wanted to do both jobs

I grew up curious, the kind of kid who needed to know how things worked before being satisfied with the result. That never went away. I actually built my first HTML/CSS webpage in 1998. When I started working professionally with websites in 2009 I just kept following that same curiosity, designing and coding in equal measure. Not because I had to, but because I couldn't help myself.

What followed was seventeen years moving between agencies, startups, Hyper Island and my own studio. Picking up art direction in London, product ownership in Stockholm, UX craft everywhere in between. In 2019 I started Dubbelkatt, finally putting a name to what I'd always been: someone who refuses to pick a side. Based in Stockholm, working with clients across Sweden and beyond.
