UX design

Analyze, concept ( research, personas, user flows, information architecture, accessibility, wireframes ), UI ( prototyping, material design ), visual design, testing.

Being a designer is not about tools. But I like to work with AXURE RP, Affinity and Pulsar.

coding

Like most designers I had to learn coding. Starting out with Actionscript, 2004ish when Flash was still hot.

And as a designer, these days, you should be able to dive into a frontend with some HTML and CSS skills and at least some basic understanding of JavaScript.

Especially when working with developers, building UI's and designing user experiences for web and mobile apps. Even though coding might not be a part of an average workday, I always keep myself updated on frontend techniques.

But I will never be a developer, because I'm a designer.

photos

I got a Canon EOS M5 from my brother-in-law. So currently I like to go out and take some random pictures. Just for the fun of it, since I'm a designer and not a photographer.

sports

Sports were always a big part of my life. So I love to get out, ideally running about 15 - 40KM a week. I do some basic workout stuff and if I do have the time, I'll be out, playing basketball with some friends.

Oh, and it was as early as my first season with Husum Cricket Club, I won the danish cricket trophy in Copenhagen and became Dansk Cricket Mester in 1991.

skating

Skateboarding is my On-again, off-again relationship since somewhere in 1990. Or as Mark Gonzales would say, “skate or don't”. To me, it's never been a sport but a culture, scene and more like a lifestyle, an art form, a mindset, a religion, freedom, friendship, overcoming fears, and so much stuff. Heavily Steve Rocco influenced.

I was more serious about it during the 1990s than I was about girls back then. After a couple of years off here and there, and the big sell-out in the industry I had to split the act of skating from today's industry to have fun with it again.
