Hello, My name is Mikael Andersson.
I'm a Senior UX/UI Designer with over 10 years of experience, spanning interface design, user research, digital marketing, front end development, game design, and more. I do my best work turning complex requirements into clear, scalable UI, building and maintaining design systems, and collaborating closely with both stakeholders and developers so ideas travel from concept to screen without losing what made them good.
I've worked with clients ranging from international corporations like Pfizer and Bridgestone to major Swedish organizations such as Unionen and Cloetta, as well as startups and independent businesses.
