UX / UI Designer

Stena Line hired me as the UX Lead for big a digital transformation project involving many teams, sub-projects, and phases.

Butlr.net

Founder, CEO, UX/UI Designer, Developer

Butlr was a marketplace that matched people who have tasks they need doing with people willing to do them for an agreed-upon price. This was before the sharing economy apps became a thing in Sweden, and no online payment solution could support the business model of a peer-to-peer marketplace in Europe. So, there were challenges to tackle! As a founder/CEO of the company and Designer/Developer of the product, I had all the responsibilities and tasks a person can have at a start-up.

I had two full-time employees and a few contractors working with me. Unfortunately, after two years of struggle, we failed to finance the company and had to abandon the ship soon after the launch.

I launched Butlr.net with big dreams. It was a simple idea with immense potential, and I guess I was a little too early for that time. Even though it didn't entirely turn out as I hoped it would, I gained a ton of experience and learned valuable lessons about product design and entrepreneurship.
