About

Hi, I am Sara.

UX/UI and graphic designer in Sundbyberg. I have led UX work in e-commerce and B2B web, from research and workshops to finished interfaces, and made packaging, retail material and motion graphics for brands like HP and Belkin.

What I care about most is that things fit together. What people look for should be where they expect it, and what they see should feel like the same brand all the way. I have a degree in information architecture, studied fashion sketching and textiles, and ran my own e-commerce for six years.

How I work

Phases at large. Short loops up close.

  1. 01

    Understand

    • Workshops with the client
    • Heuristic review of what exists
    • Behaviour data in Clarity and GA4
    • The brand guidelines and templates
  2. 02

    Structure

    • Information architecture and sitemap
    • Flows with the error paths drawn in
    • Greyscale wireframes, approved before colour
  3. 03

    Design and build

    • Components and design systems in Figma
    • Contrast, focus and labels in the components
    • Directions to choose from, then feedback rounds
  4. 04

    Follow up

    • Release in small parts after launch
    • Print files: bleed, colour and QR codes
    • Accessibility check on the live site

The same phases whether it is an online store or a hang tag. Within each phase I work in short loops, with a demo or a draft for the client before the next step.

Design tools

Development

I can also code. It means I know what can be built, but that is not where my focus is.
