From the shaping of an idea, to building out UI mockups & prototypes, creating components, assets & app icons.
I'm the founding designer at Mainframe. With Cobot we're building a new way for individuals to work with AI agents in a shared space. Our goal is to dramatically increase what a single person can accomplish by unlocking powerful capabilities through AI collaboration.
I designed the PlanningMyGarden apps for iOS and visionOS, including all 3D models. Flourish Garden for Apple Vision Pro lets users explore their garden in lifelike scale, with ambient sounds and a realistic sunset. Flourish also offers customizable themes to make professional garden design easy and accessible.
I founded the company behind Plantry, an app that makes meal planning simple and enjoyable. Pick a pre-made plan, customize it, or start from scratch and get a personalized shopping list. With over 1000 recipes, it’s easy to find new favorites.
I founded the company behind Handla, an app with a built-in library of grocery items that makes creating a categorized shopping list fast and easy.
While working on the Mind Vault app, I designed an icon that wasn't used due to a company rebrand and name change. Had it been used, I planned to refine the MV word-mark for clarity and impact. Fun detail: macOS OCR correctly reads the word-mark as "MV" when highlighted.
In 2020, I joined Quill to improve team communication by streamlining notifications and helping users focus on what mattered. Quill made it easy to manage and prioritize conversations. In December 2021, Quill was acquired by Twitter.
Between 2015 and 2020, I was the lead mobile designer, via Bontouch (now Framna), for the Swedish Railways app on iOS, Android, and Apple Watch. The app lets users buy tickets, get travel updates, and stay informed throughout their journey, serving both commuters and leisure travelers.
In 2013, I helped shape the concept for Spotify Connect—a feature for controlling playback across devices. I also designed a logo that built on the Spotify icon, animating to show a successful connection. A conceptual UI video I created helped push the design forward.
In 2010 at Ocean Observations, I helped Japan’s second-largest operator design their Android app suite, including a home screen and launcher. I led visual direction, concept work, and implementation docs. The IS01, by Naoto Fukasawa, blended smartphone and laptop design, while the IS03 launch—promoted by Lady Gaga—was prominently featured across Shibuya.
