I am a freelance UX designer, with a focus on sustainability
Sustainable UX design
Social sustainability
Social sustainability in digital design is about designing solutions that recognize and appreciate the variety of human differences, such as race, gender, age, ability, culture, religion, and more. It is about ensuring accessibility, avoiding bias, and deceptive patterns.
Environmental sustainability
Environmental sustainability in digital design is about designing solutions that are built for low energy use and thereby low CO2 emissions. It is about designing solutions that enable our users to behave sustainably.
“As an individual, I have to make sustainable decisions every day, but as a designer, I can make one sustainable design decision that will have a positive impact every time a user uses the product.”

How is this website sustainable?
Sustainable hosting
This website is hosted on Amazon and Google, which have reached or will soon reach 100% renewable energy*. It uses CDNs which ensures that data is send from the server closest to the visitor, which saves energy.
Lightweight data
I am using lightweight pictures and no videos. I use colors that use small amounts of energy on OLED screens. I also use system fonts, so fonts do not have to be dowloaded from the server.
Accessibility
I have ensured that text on the background passes WCAG AAA, and that the the minimum font size is 16 px. I also have Alt text on all visual elements, so it can be understood by people using screen readers.
Build without using AI
As using AI consumes a lot of energy, and potentially misuse of copyrights I have decided not to use any AI to build this website - it is all human made!
Over the last 5 years, I worked as UX designer and design system expert in different companies, both in freelance and permanent positions.
I have been designing experiences for both mobile, tablet, desktop and HMIs.
