I design and build products that make complex systems feel simple.

Experience

Staff Product Designer · Chooose · 2025 - 2026 · Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴

I turned complex B2B systems into scalable, modular flows and interfaces for Airbus, Delta Air Lines, Finnair, American Airlines, Qantas, KLM Air France Group, Microsoft, and others. I used object-oriented UX (OOUX) to give the underlying complexity a clear, adaptable structure.

I created Trekslist to help long-distance hikers discover their next destination and connect with people who shared their passion. What began as a passion project was acquired by Whympr (Pahada Group) in 2025.

Co-Founder, CPO, CEO · Wonders · 2014 - 2016 · San Francisco, USA 🇺🇸

I co-founded Wonders, a Techstars-backed venture with a simple goal: to bring millennials closer to nature. I designed a product that received enthusiastic user reviews, attracted broad press coverage, and was featured in Apple’s App Store—and when its review process stalled, I even emailed Tim Cook to move things along. It worked. 😅
