Interaction Design — Stockholm, Sweden
About
I am an interaction designer who combines a perceptive awareness of people’s needs and desires with advanced technical skills. I've acquired a broad set of skills and methodologies. Among these are physical and digital prototyping, conducting user ethnographic research, conceptual project approach and sketching out scenarios. My interests lie in the creation of highly engaging and playful experiences spanning across a wide field of applications including products, services and environments.

I am interested in both, the conceptual and the practical aspects of design. Ethnographic and user studies, brainstorming, concept development, strategic and creative direction as well as system definition, rapid prototyping, developing working models, implementation and client relationships. I enjoy working in dynamic and diverse environments and I am an active and productive team participant.
I am interested in exploring beyond the aesthetics of interaction design. The different spatial dimensions of interaction design and tangible interfaces.
I find important to use experience prototypes, and evaluate people's reaction about new future concepts and see the users as a co-creators.
