This is me
Hi! I’m Maja, an interaction designer who designs things for people and our planet. With a background in human-centered design, I strive to understand people’s needs and behaviours. To design intuitive and sustainable user experiences.

Bridging the gap between people and tech.
While my story started with a bachelor’s in industrial design I quickly realised that interaction design is the thing for me. Since then I’ve graduated with a master’s in interaction design from the top-ranking school of Umeå Institute of Design and I’am constantly striving to bring human values into experiences, products, and services.
Previously I’ve designed for a range of different industries including automotive, clean tech, medical, e-learning, and consumer tech in all formats from web, mobile, voice, service, and physical environment.
My passion is to make complex challenges and user needs into simple and meaningful digital products and services that bridge the gap between people and tech.
