What a guy! Axel has worked on UX/UI for UT.no for several years and has made an important contribution to the service’s continued development through a creative and systematic approach. He quickly gets to grips with problems and is willing to challenge concepts, assumptions and safe choices.Christian Strand, Head of Technology and Development, Norwegian Trekking Association

Axel is not only positive, funny and friendly, but exceptionally good at what he does. He has an ability to understand both users’ needs and the technical constraints of a product, however niche it may be (like Site Planner, which requires considerable technical understanding). He challenges constructively, asks the right questions and finds intuitive solutions.

What I appreciate most is how generously Axel shares his knowledge. He became an important UX/UI mentor to me, and I learned an enormous amount through our work together. That experience has been invaluable! Thank you again, Axel!Selma Louise Sandsdalen, on our work together on Site Planner at Vindr

Axel has excellent collaboration skills, a good overview, an eye for what works and is very efficient. His thoughtful sketches and designs guide us through the system, making it feel intuitive to us as users.Karsten Nikolaisen, Senior Adviser, Norwegian Public Roads Administration

Axel delivered a thorough, well-structured review of the entire user journey: registration and permissions, onboarding, first impressions and understanding of the concept, navigation, the app’s core flows, notifications, stability and its App Store presentation. Each point described the problem, its consequences and a concrete proposed solution, supported by screenshots from the review.

What set the delivery apart from a straightforward UX report was that Axel also challenged the concept from a business perspective: who actually has this need, and what should change for the product to resonate. He was direct about what did not work, without sugar-coating it.Frode Standahl, Founder and Principal Owner, BeWizor

I have had the pleasure of working with Axel on the board of Ai Finans since the summer of 2023. In a company competing in a demanding industry, where digital challenges sometimes seem to queue up, Axel’s contribution has been fantastic!

He sees solutions to our problems, large and small, and thanks to his ideas and user-friendly solutions, we have taken major digital steps as a company. I warmly recommend Axel if you want to bring a creative and engaging mind onto your board or into your company.Alexander Kylgaard, Fellow Board Member, Ai Finans

By truly committing himself to building strong digital experiences for the underrepresented & historically marginalized communities within education that we strive to support, Axel was able to move the needle for our team in a direction that recruited thousands more educators to hear our cause, & thus expand access to educational and economic opportunities for learners everywhere.Joey Raiton, Head of Design, Education Modernization Team at Meta

Axel is a multidisciplinary talented and experienced designer, with strong technical and front-end hands on knowledge and can-do attitude. He is great in asking all the right questions, inquisitive and excellent in understanding needs and translating them to meaningful and delightful solutions. He has a great attitude, is always positive and tries to find the best solutions while keeping a holistic and systemic approach to his designs and suggestions. He has been central in getting our Design System off the ground and contributing to our first steps toward creating a global product.Julia Tavridou, Digital Design Manager at Oda

Axel does great UX on various conversion flows, using forms. Such work needs attention to detail and that he has in spades. The design deliveries are of the highest quality with frames for every action, and all those individual error messages that many tend to forget.Simen Eriksen, on form design and conversion flows

Axel has been an invaluable partner in building Tørn from a scrappy startup to a proper e-commerce site with well thought out solutions to difficult problems.

He has consistently delivered high quality insight work as well as high fidelity sketches for our developers to work with, and he has been a great discussion partner in trying to figure out what to do next.Audun Kvasbø, on the development of Tørn

I warmly recommend Axel. His work in UX design and creative front-end development has been valuable to our projects, from idea to delivery, through development and testing, to further development and improvement.

Axel is genuinely interested in solving problems. He askes all the right questions, is efficient and has an enthusiastic way of presenting his work. There is no beating around the bush, and he has a unique way of getting to the core of the task and solving it.
