About

Hej! 👋

My name is Ulrik!

I'm an interaction designer, currently working on transforming insurance tools to become more transparent and user-friendly at Tia Technology.

I enjoy designing for the obvious and believe we should become closer to our surroundings by designing technology for people that interacts with the physical space in favor of the digitial.
