Detailed Summary

I'm Adam, a UX designer based in Uppsala, Sweden with over 7 years of experience leading digital product teams in environmental tech and SaaS.

I started my career in project delivery, where I learned how to navigate complexity, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and align user needs with business goals.

That experience naturally evolved into UX, where I now bring a hybrid skill set across research, design, and product strategy.

I’m drawn to clear, purposeful design with a natural influence and enjoy balancing creativity with structure.

Whether wireframing a new flow or rebuilding something in my home workshop, I care about how things work, feel, and fit together.

I’ve worked on sustainability-focused platforms, B2B SaaS products, and responsive web apps.

I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy solving real problems through thoughtful, human-centred design.

When I’m not designing, I’m usually outdoors hiking, kayaking, or wood carving.

A dream of mine is to one day run my own rewilding project.
