Hello, I’m Lars Andersson
A Senior UX/UI and Product Designer with 15+ years of experience creating user-centered digital solutions that blend functionality with creativity. I bring a strategic, end-to-end approach to design — from research and ideation to prototyping and execution — with a focus on usability, clarity, and visual impact.
I’m passionate about merging design with emerging technologies, especially AI, to create smarter, more adaptive user experiences. By combining traditional design systems with cutting-edge tools, I lead with agility and a commitment to continuous learning in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
Whether leading design or cross-functional teams, mentoring talent, or rolling up my sleeves in Figma, my focus remains the same: to create seamless, intuitive, elegant and empowering experiences that not only meet business objectives but resonate deeply with users.
