Hello, my name is Jesper and I am a Digital Designer. Or as we called it before all of the smart devices took over the world, Webdesigner. I sometimes still introduce myself as a Webdesigner when talking to people outside of this industry, since they tend to get a bit confused if you start hitting them with UI, UX, Product, Frontend etc. -designer. Somehow Web gives them the clue of what i do, and then it is easy to elaborate from there.
Working with design for digital platforms is my passion. I enjoy the process of building, optimizing and evolve everything from small parts of a product to complete product overhauls.
My inspiration comes from analysing good design found via newsletters, dribbble and from following fellow designers work. Also when i'm out and about or commuting, I often notice small details that for most others are invicible, and my thoughts start processing what could have led to the decission of making it like that.
Read on below for more about me and my work.
