Hello, I’m Lars Andersson

Lead UX & Product Designer with 15+ years of experience turning complex business and user problems into strategic, scalable digital products. I bring an end to end approach spanning product strategy, UX research, experience and interaction design, design systems, prototyping, and execution bridging customer needs, business objectives, and technical constraints from discovery through delivery.

My experience spans enterprise and consumer products, operational systems, B2B growth platforms, and AI enabled experiences, including digital solutions supporting AutoZone’s 7,800+ store network. I combine strategic thinking, strong visual design, front end knowledge, and an AI forward mindset to simplify complexity, accelerate innovation, and create intuitive experiences that deliver real user and business value.
