Product Designer in Aarhus
Curious about the intersection between humans and technology. Passionate about product design and product development processes.
Projects
Lawyers and their assistants who work with trademarks pay for a service to check if similar applications have been made in other countries, so they can warn their clients. These services return many results, some of which are relevant and others are not. Going through all this data is currently a tedious and manual process. The team and I have come up with a solution that removes the irrelevant results and analyzes the remaining ones. This enables the IP professional to quickly make a decision and take action.
The application is currently being revised at the European Patent Office.
As Rightly and RightHub merged, we needed to build a new design system for our new unified IP platform. The design system is designed to be simple and contextual in naming conventions and the number of components; this should ensure consistency across designers and improve the readability and developer experience. Tools: Tokens Studio and Figma.
IP lawyers spend too much time and clients' budgets managing IP renewals. A task that should be simple and predictable should not be so cumbersome. The Rightly Renewal Flow is the first solution that ties clients, law firms, and foreign agents into one simple, automated workflow. This enhances the user experience for all parties, saves precious time, and lowers costs.
T.Hue was a prototype built for my master's thesis, which investigated the usability and user experience of smart home products, specifically smart lights. T.Hue was built to test how a combination of tangible user interfaces and graphical user interfaces could improve the usability of smart home products.
Our goal was to redesign the glucose monitor to feel like a natural part of users' everyday lives. Based on user interviews, we developed a persona to design for. Our design aims to address the stigma adult men experience when monitoring and treating diabetes with friends and at work.
Side Projects
During the Junction Tokyo hackathon, we developed the concept of Kenkō and built a prototype for it. Kenkō is designed to assist doctors in pre-screening their patients and guiding them through simple, non-urgent cases. If a patient requires a doctor's supervision, the app helps schedule a time for a video call or consultation.
Work Experience
As a product designer, my primary role is to develop user-centered design solutions for digital products and services. I work closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, engineers, and management, to gain a deep understanding of user needs and establish precise product requirements. I conduct user research to investigate challenges and validate designs and requirements.
Education
Cross-disciplinary education that combines computer science, industrial design, and Human-Computer Interaction. Courses include VR/AR, visual recognition, social, IoT, entrepreneurship, aesthetic interaction design, and various project courses.
