Hi, this is me…
UX/UI & Design Lead. Photographer | Video Editor.
– I’m also a certified life coach. Across all my work, my starting point is the same. I like to listen and get to know the person on the other side of the screen or in front of the camera.
Mikael is my name, and I am a Stockholm-based UX/UI designer, photographer, and video editor. I’ve spent over 13 years designing digital products and more than six years telling stories through photography and film.
As a designer, I’m curious about the moment someone hesitates. What were they expecting to see? What would help them take the next step? At Ving, that meant looking closely at how travellers book and pay for a holiday. At Scandic, it meant understanding what guests need during their stay. I enjoy following those questions from the first conversation with a user to the details of the final interface.
Photography and film give me another reason to pay attention. Behind the camera, I’m drawn to a change in the light or an expression that’s gone a second later. In the edit, I enjoy finding the rhythm of a story and knowing when to let a moment play out.
I’m calm by nature and enjoy working with people who share ideas openly. Whether you need a design partner for a digital product or someone to tell your story through photography or film, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.
